What Are Dental Crowns and When Are They Needed?

Dental crowns are one of the most widely used solutions in restorative dentistry, as they restore damaged teeth and return their natural shape, strength, and appearance.

At Dental Artistry, we’ll explain what crowns are, what they’re for, and when they’re recommended.

🦷 What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” that covers a natural tooth or a dental implant. It’s carefully designed to match your bite, tooth color, and shape, and can be made from porcelain, zirconia, ceramic, or metal.

The goal is to protect a weakened tooth or restore one that has lost much of its structure.

✅ When Is a Crown Recommended?

A dentist may recommend a crown if you have:

• A fractured tooth or significant loss of structure

• Large cavities that can’t be treated with a simple filling

• A root canal treatment, to protect the tooth afterward

• Severe tooth wear due to grinding (bruxism) or erosion

• A very weak or aesthetically compromised tooth

• A dental implant, where the crown restores the visible part of the tooth

• A dental bridge, where crowns serve as anchors
