What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a type of dental restoration that covers a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. It is a popular treatment option for teeth that are damaged, decayed, or otherwise weakened and can be used to improve the function and appearance of the affected tooth.

​What are the types of dental crowns?
Several types of dental crowns are available, including porcelain, ceramic, and metallic ones. 

• Porcelain crowns are made from ceramic and glass and are popular because they can be colour-matched to blend in with the surrounding teeth.
• ​Ceramic crowns are made entirely of ceramic and are a good choice for those allergic to metal. 
• Metallic crowns are made from gold, platinum, or a base metal alloy and are known for their strength and durability.
