   Crowns 

• Replacement crowns look attractive and natural, and match the adjacent teeth.
• The visible part of the tooth above the gum line is called "the crown".
• If the natural crown is unattractive, decayed or damaged, it can be aesthetically repaired with a "replacement crown". 

• The dentist pares down the original tooth, takes an impression of it, and sends it to a dental technician. 

• The technician uses the impression to make a cast of the prepared tooth.

• A plaster cast is an exact copy of the prepared tooth and the adjoining teeth.

• A replacement crown is made to fit the cast, and is sent back to the dentist. 

• The dentist then cements the replacement crown onto the prepared tooth. 

• Replacement crowns are usually made of porcelain, or porcelain fused to metal. 

• A temporary plastic replacement crown will cover and protect the pared down tooth until the permanent crown is ready to be cemented onto it. 

• We do following types of crowns at our center,
  1. Porcelain fused to precious metal.
  2. Porcelain fused to non precious metal.
  3. Metal free porcelain crowns, which offers exellent aesthetics.
