A crown is a cap that is placed over a tooth and held in place by dental adhesive or cement.
Crowns are used for several reasons:
• As a protective cover for badly decayed teeth or fractured teeth
• As a permanent restoration for teeth with large fillings
• To correct minor problems in natural teeth like spacing and irregular shape or severe discolouration.
All Resin
These are used for temporary coverage. However, they do not last as long as other crowns due to the fact that they aren’t fracture resistant.
All Metal
This includes gold alloy and other base metal alloys. Metal Crowns are the toughest, they rarely chip and can resist daily wear and tear.
Ceramic fused to metal
They merge the strength of metal along with the esthetics of porcelain.
All Ceramic
These crowns are the best esthetically and have the advantage of being metal free
