Crowns
Crowns are a kind of dental restoration to teeth
which are damaged, broken or have received root
canal treatment. Dentists will place a dental
crown made of different materials over the damaged
tooth to restore its original shape and make it
work effectively.
Types of crowns
- Porcelain-fused-to-metal dental crown (PFM)
- All porcelain dental crown
- All metal dental crown (gold dental crown)

PFM and all porcelain crowns have colours that
reflect natural teeth. Usually PFM crown is recommended
for molars, which perform a main task in chewing,
while all-porcelain crown is used for front teeth
due to its very natural appearance. All-metal
dental crown is the most durable material because
it rarely chips or breaks.

tooth or tooth that has received root canal
treatment
- To prevent tooth cavity

- Help preserve severely decayed tooth or cover
