When a tooth is badly weakened, fractured, root-canal treated, or heavily restored, a dental crown provides full-coverage protection and long-term durability. At Smile Expert Clinic, we create custom crowns that restore strength while matching your natural smile.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A crown (also called a “cap”) is a tooth-shaped cover that fully encases the visible part of a tooth above the gumline. Crowns reinforce structurally compromised teeth and improve aesthetics.
When Is a Crown Recommended?
Large decay that a filling cannot support
Fractured, cracked, or heavily worn teeth
Following root canal treatment
Covering dental implants (implant crowns)
Cosmetic improvement of misshapen or discolored teeth
Supporting a dental bridge as an abutment
Types of Dental Crowns
1. All-Ceramic / All-Porcelain
Excellent aesthetics; ideal for front teeth. Includes lithium disilicate (e.max) and feldspathic porcelain.
2. Zirconia Crowns
Extremely strong; now available in multilayer translucent options for both front and back teeth.
3. Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM)
Durable core with porcelain exterior; traditional, versatile option.
4. Full Metal (Gold Alloy or Base Metal)
Superior longevity and minimal tooth reduction; often used in posterior teeth (when esthetics less critical).
5. Implant Crowns
Custom crowns attached to implant abutments; materials selected based on bite forces and esthetic zone.
