A dental crown is a type of dental restoration designed to cover and protect a damaged or decayed tooth. Also known as a cap, a crown fits over the entire visible portion of the tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Dental crowns can be made from various materials, including resin, ceramic, metal, and porcelain, and they are essential for restoring the function and aesthetics of teeth affected by decay, trauma, or other factors.
Types of Dental Crowns
Several types of dental crowns are available, each with unique properties and benefits. Zirconia crowns are made from a strong, durable ceramic material that is highly resistant to wear and tear, making them ideal for back teeth. Lithium disilicate crowns (IPS e.max) are prized for their versatility and aesthetic qualities, designed to mimic the natural translucency of tooth enamel, making them perfect for front teeth.

At Dr. Salim Kapadia Dental Centre, we offer a range of dental crown options to suit your needs.

The Crown Placement Process
Getting a dental crown typically involves two visits to our clinic. During the first visit, your dentist will prepare the damaged tooth and take an impression to create a custom crown. A temporary crown will be placed to protect the tooth. In the second visit, the custom crown will be fitted and bonded to the tooth, ensuring it fits comfortably and looks natural.
