What Are Dental Crowns And Why Are They Used?
Dental crown is a prosthetic device used over an existing tooth or an implant and holds the shape and appearance of a natural tooth. These prosthetic devices are used quite extensively in dentistry and are considered a great solution for most cosmetic needs. Crowns are made up of a metal material and coated using porcelain which is the best alternative to the enamel appearance of natural teeth. Dental crowns restore the appearance of natural teeth by ensuring that the crown looks like the other similar teeth in the mouth. Crowns are mostly used for the teeth that help in the chewing process. Since these set of teeth occupy more space compared to the teeth in the front making crown placement easier over the existing tooth as a cap.
