What is a dental crown?
A dental crown (or tooth cap or tooth cover) is unique, fitting entirely over a natural tooth to restore its strength, shape, size, and appearance. Some people might consider a dental crown to be like a helmet for your tooth.
Your dentist will suggest a dental crown if they feel that a tooth is no longer workable as a natural tooth, and it has become too compromised or too damaged. A tooth that has been compromised or damaged will likely: be fractured again or have more decay, and then ultimately will need to be removed.
Note: It is always worth your time if someone recommends dental crowns to think about it; it might be the best and only option for you and save you larger problems or costs in the future.
Restoring a confident smile often involves healthy teeth. Even the most durable teeth may need a bit of support at times. If you've heard the words dental crown from your dentist, you are not alone. Millions depend on dental crowns every year to repair broken down teeth, protect teeth that may be damaged, and help to restore your brilliant smile!

The Real Deal behind Myths about Dental Crowns

Myth 2: After cemented, all crowns are permanent.
Fact: If well-cared the crown will last and perform about 10 to 15 years or more with good oral care.
Myth 3: your teeth will get stained of everything you eat and drink with the crown.
Fact: In general individuals are able to eat and drink without worry of staining as crowns are constructed from zirconia or porcelain.
Myth 4: Crowns are for broken teeth only
Fact: Crowns may also be employed in cosmetic dentistry in order to construct gorgeous smiles.
