  1. INTRODUCTION  A crown, sometimes known as “dental cap” is a type of dental restoration that fully cups over that portion of a tooth or dental implant that lies at and above the gum line.  These tooth-shaped caps help to restore your teeth and improve your smile.  Crowns are permanently cemented into place for repairing and strengthening of damaged or broken teeth and also to improve the appearance of the tooth.

  2. Types of Dental Crowns 1. Ceramic  Ceramic dental crowns provide better natural color match than any other crown type and may be more suitable for people with metal allergies.  These are used for restoring front teeth and are much popular for their ability to blend with your natural tooth color.  The crown is made of a porcelain-based material. 2. Base metal alloys  This crown is made up of non-noble metals that are highly resistant to corrosion, and make for a very strong crown.  It also requires the least amount of healthy tooth to be removed before fitting.

  3. Types of Dental Crowns 3. Porcelain-fused to metal  Porcelain fused to metal crowns is another widely used type of dental crowns.  This crown provides great aesthetics and durability as it is connected to a metal structure.  These crowns can be a good choice for front or back teeth as well as long bridges where the metal is needed for strength. 4. Gold alloys  Gold crowns are in fact a combination of copper and other metals, such as nickel or chromium. They are strong and highly resistant and are long-lasting.  But gold alloys don’t make a very popular choice today due to their color and aesthetics.
