Description
Dental crowns cover a tooth entirely. Crowns are necessary when a tooth is weakened or missing a large part of its original structure. Crowns are also called dental caps. There is no difference between a crown, a dental cap, or a tooth cap, as all are the same tooth restoration.
Crowns can be made from various materials, but most nowadays are made from porcelain. A well-fabricated and properly cared-for porcelain crown can last ten years or longer.
What Is a Porcelain Crown?
A porcelain crown is a restoration designed to fit over the entire tooth. During preparation, our dentist in Hackensack will need to remove some tooth material. This is to ensure there is enough room for the porcelain crown to fit securely and comfortably. Once made, the porcelain crown is bonded permanently onto the tooth.
