Details.
A tooth-shaped cap used to cover and restore a damaged, decayed, chipped, broken, misshapen or severely discoloured tooth. Crowns are custom-made to match the colour, shape and texture of natural teeth. Treatment may involve slightly filing or filling the tooth, taking a mould, and fitting the tailored crown. Porcelain crowns are usually used for visible teeth, while gold metal alloy crowns are recommended for molars. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, crowns can last up to 15 years.
