When Is A Dental Crown Necessary?

When a tooth has an injury or is getting damaged, a dental crown is one of the solutions employed. They are also used to support a tooth with a large filling, to cover a dental implant, or to anchor a dental bridge. In some cases, a dental crown is used for cosmetic purposes. Dental crowns are made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, and composite resin. The type of material used will be based on the location of the tooth, the expected wear and tear, and the patient's aesthetic preferences. To determine if a dental crown is necessary, your dentist will examine the tooth and take X-rays to assess the damage. If a dental crown is recommended, the tooth will be prepared for the crown and a temporary crown will be placed. A permanent crown will be made and cemented in place at a follow-up visit.
