What is a dental crown?<\/h2><\/div>

A dental crown, also known as a dental cap, is a tooth-shaped covering that is placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to protect it and restore its function. The crown is designed to completely cover the visible part of the tooth above the gum line, and is typically made from materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys.<\/p>\n

Dental crowns are often used to repair teeth that are severely decayed, cracked, or broken, or to improve the appearance of teeth that are misshapen or discolored. They can also be used to anchor a dental bridge, cover a dental implant, or to protect a tooth after a root canal procedure.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Repair<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The process of getting a dental crown typically involves two appointments with a dentist. During the first appointment, the tooth is prepared by removing any decay or damage, and a mold or impression is taken of the tooth and surrounding area. This mold is then sent to a dental laboratory where the custom-made crown is fabricated. At the second appointment, the crown is placed and adjusted to ensure a comfortable and natural fit.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
