What is Dental Crown Treatment
When Should You Consider Getting a Crown?
You should consider a crown when your tooth is too weak for a filling or after a root canal. If a tooth looks bad or feels sharp, a crown might help. You'll also need one for dental implants or to hold a bridge.
-
After a root canal:
After this treatment, your tooth is hollowed out. A crown keeps it strong so it doesn't break later. -
To fix a broken tooth:
A cracked or worn-down tooth can get worse quickly. A crown gives it back its shape and strength. -
To cover a discoloured tooth:
Sometimes teeth don’t respond to whitening. A crown hides dark or stained teeth, especially in the front. -
To support a dental bridge:
If you've lost a tooth, a bridge fills the space. Crowns on either side hold the bridge in place. -
To finish a dental implant:
When an implant replaces a missing root, a crown is placed on top. That's the part you see and use.
Types of Dental Crowns You Can Choose From
Sometimes you're not sure what crown to go for. That's okay. Each crown type has a different strength, look, and cost. Some are better for front teeth, others for back teeth. At Epion Clinic, we explain each option so you can pick what suits your smile and your budget best.
Porcelain fused to metal crowns
These crowns have a metal base with a porcelain layer on top. They give strength and look natural. They’re often used for back teeth but can also be used in front if needed. They might show a dark line near the gums over time, but they last long and hold up well under pressure.
All-ceramic or all-porcelain crowns
These crowns don’t have metal. They look the most natural and are best for front teeth. They match your tooth color closely and don’t leave any dark lines. They may not be as strong as metal-based crowns, but they’re perfect if looks are your main concern.
Gold crowns
Gold crowns are made of gold alloy and are super strong. They last for decades and are gentle on nearby teeth. They don’t break or chip. But they stand out because of their color, so most people use them for back teeth where they don’t show.
Zirconia crowns
Zirconia is strong and white like a real tooth. These crowns are great if you want something that’s both durable and looks good. They’re hard to chip and don’t wear down easily. They’re used both in the front and back, making them a popular choice.
Resin crowns
These crowns are cheaper but wear out faster. They may crack or break under too much pressure. They’re usually used as temporary crowns until your permanent one is ready. They’re not great for long-term use but can work well in a pinch.
