Dental crowns
The crown is the part of the tooth that rises above the gums. It is also a type of dental restoration that caps or encircles a natural tooth or implant. Crowns improve aesthetic appeal, but they also help to reinforce the tooth.
When is a crown needed?
If the dental cavity is small, and if after having cleaned the cavity, the structure of the tooth can still withstand it, the dentist simply fills the cavity using an amalgam, resin or composite filling. However, should the tooth now be too thin, the dental structure too fragile or too weak, a crown will have to be placed.
A dental crown is also required in the following situations:
- When a tooth is seriously damaged;
- After a root canal if the tooth is too weak;
- To cover a dental implant (see also implant supported crown)
