A crown encases a tooth like a jacket, and it can be created from a variety of materials depending on the strength and the desired appearance. When a tooth is cracked or a large filling needs to be replaced, they are recommended. A crown can also be utilized to make a huge discolored filling look better. The crown preparation is taken to a laboratory, where the technician’s ability to create a tooth out of one of three materials is crucial.

The following are the most important materials:

Porcelain bonded to precious metal: After creating a precious metal basis, porcelain is placed in layers over it.

Porcelain crowns: They are comprised completely of porcelain and are not as sturdy as bonded crowns, but they can look quite natural and are most commonly used for front teeth.

All-ceramic crowns: This cutting-edge technology provides a metal-free option with the strength of a bonded crown and the aesthetics of a porcelain crown. As a result, it can be used in any part of the mouth.

Glass crowns are highly natural-looking and can be utilized on both the front and back teeth.
