Any damage to your smile can make you look either like a pirate, an aging walrus, or an ill-fitting clown. But no matter how strong they look, your teeth are still vulnerable to breakage and damage, especially if not properly cared for.
If for any reason, one or more teeth are damaged and do not look like your other healthy teeth, our dentists at Shakthi Dental Hospital can restore them using a dental crown.
Dental crowns and dental bridges are just two of the many types of artificial teeth. In India, we can find a wide variety of other artificial teeth, including dental implants and dentures. Artificial teeth are highly recommended if you've lost your third molars or undergone a root canal treatment for other reasons
Do I Need to Have a Dental Crown?
A dental crown (also called a tooth restoration or a dental overlay) is a treatment used to restore, protect and reshape damaged or decayed teeth. Crowns are typically made from metal alloys.
A dental crown is a perfect choice if your teeth have been damaged by trauma, decay, or exposure to natural hazards such as weather elements, brushing your teeth too hard, or chipped flanges on the back of the tooth that may be caused by a misaligned bite, etc.
Crowns are used in cases where tooth decay has done too much damage (alveolar bone loss) and when there's a very large amount of tooth having to be restored (usually 1 – 2 centimeter crowns are used here).
