Cosmetic dentistry is well-known for the wonders it can do, and dental crowns are one of these restoring dental miracles that have amazingly advanced throughout the years. Dental crowns are the historical standards in dental restorations; they are used to treat damaged teeth. A crown covers the broken tooth to repair the strength and get rid of any discomfort that the damaged teeth may cause. For many years, these restorations were made entirely from precious or non-precious metals exposing a dull-looking dark tooth. There are currently three different types of materials that your dentist can use to restore your teeth with a crown. Dental crowns can be made of ceramic, porcelain, or a metal. The type of crown used is generally determined by the extent of damage to the tooth and individual needs of the patient.
