What are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns, also known as caps, are prosthetic restorations that completely encase or cover a damaged, decayed or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are commonly used in both restorative and cosmetic dentistry to address various dental issues and improve the function and aesthetics of a tooth.
Uses of Dental Crowns
- Restoration of Damaged Teeth: Dental crowns are often used to restore teeth that are significantly decayed, fractured, cracked, or otherwise damaged. By covering the entire visible portion of the tooth above the gum line, crowns provide protection and support, preventing further deterioration and restoring the tooth's structural integrity.
- Strengthening Weakened Teeth: Teeth that have undergone extensive dental procedures, such as root canal therapy, may become weakened and more susceptible to fracture. Crowns are placed over these teeth to strengthen and reinforce them, reducing the risk of fracture and prolonging their lifespan.
- Cosmetic Enhancement: Crowns can improve the appearance of teeth by enhancing their shape, size, colour, and alignment. They are commonly used to address aesthetic issues such as discolouration, misshapen teeth, gaps between teeth, and uneven tooth surfaces.

At Meon Dental Care, we offer a range of dental crown options to suit your needs:
Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns are highly aesthetic and closely mimic the natural color and translucency of enamel. They are an excellent choice for restoring front teeth and other visible areas of the smile.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns
PFM crowns combine the strength of a metal substructure with the natural appearance of porcelain. They offer durability and aesthetics and are suitable for both front and back teeth.
All-Ceramic Crowns
All-ceramic crowns are made entirely of porcelain or other tooth-coloured materials, providing excellent aesthetics and biocompatibility. They are ideal for individuals with metal allergies or those who prefer metal-free restorations. We offer E-max and Zirconia crowns.
Metal Crowns
Metal crowns, typically made of gold alloy or base metal alloys, are known for their strength and durability. While they are not as aesthetic as porcelain crowns, they are often used for back teeth where strength and function are paramount.
