What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are a restorative procedure designed to improve the shape and strength of your teeth. Often referred to as caps, crowns are cemented onto existing teeth, covering the portion above the gum line. They serve as a new outer surface for your tooth, providing both aesthetics and functionality.
When Are Crowns Necessary?
Crowns are predominantly utilized for teeth that are broken, worn, or damaged by decay. If there isn’t enough tooth structure left to support a filling, a crown or onlay (partial crown) may be needed. Unlike traditional fillings, crowns are crafted from porcelain or metal in a lab, ensuring a perfect fit for your unique bite and jaw movements.
The Benefits of Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns are often preferred due to their ability to mimic the translucency of natural teeth, offering a seamless and durable solution. As they are custom-made from a unique tooth scan or impression, your crown is sculpted to enhance your dental structure while ensuring normal bite functionality. At Perla Clinics, we take pride in using advanced technology to create crowns that fit beautifully and precisely.
