Understanding Dental Crowns

A dental crown acts as a protective cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth. Its purpose is to restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crafted from materials such as porcelain, ceramic, and metal, each type of crown offers unique benefits.

Indications for Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are a versatile solution for a variety of dental concerns, including:

Reinforcing a weak tooth prone to fracture

Repairing a severely worn or broken tooth

Supporting a tooth with a large filling when little tooth structure remains

Securing a dental bridge

Concealing misshaped or discolored teeth

Covering a dental implant

Enhancing cosmetic appearance

Types of Dental Crowns Offered at Monument Dental

Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain crowns are an excellent choice for front teeth due to their natural appearance. They are designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, providing an aesthetically pleasing result.

Ceramic Crowns

Known for their durability and aesthetic appeal, ceramic crowns are a popular choice for those seeking a natural look with enhanced strength.

Metal Crowns

Metal crowns, being extremely durable, are ideal for molars that endure significant chewing forces. While they lack the natural tooth appearance, their strength is unmatched.
