Dental Crowns @ Nova Dental Clinique

What are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are artificial tooth coverings that are designed to be fitted over a weakened or damaged tooth, helping restore its original strength, shape, size, and even aesthetic appeal. They are intended to cover the entire exposed part of the tooth that is located above the gum line.

Dental crowns offered by Nova Dental Clinique are designed to match your existing tooth color, shape, and even size, ensuring that your smile looks perfectly natural. Dental crowns are commonly used in cosmetic dentistry to protect weakened teeth that have been damaged due to decay, fracture, or even other dental procedures that may have weakened them.

Dental crowns are designed using state-of-the-art technology that ensures they are not only strong but also offer comfort and aesthetic appeal. Dental crowns are designed to last for a very long time, even when you take good care of your teeth and visit your dentist regularly.

When is Dental Crown Needed?

A dental crown may be necessary if a tooth is severely damaged and cannot be filled, yet is still healthy enough to be preserved. Crowns assist in the protection of tooth structures while ensuring normal chewing functions.

Nova Dental Clinique dentists may recommend dental crowns in the following cases:
  • To protect a tooth that is weakened or cracked from further damage
  • To repair a tooth that is broken or severely worn out
  • After a root canal procedure to strengthen the tooth
  • To support a tooth that has a large filling and has little tooth structure left
  • To cap dental implants
  • To anchor a dental bridge
  • To improve the aesthetic value of teeth that are discolored or misshapen
  • In addition to protection, dental crowns assist in the maintenance of the natural alignment of your bite.

    What are Various Types of Dental Crowns?

    There are several types of dental crowns available, and the choice depends on the patient’s dental condition, aesthetic needs, and durability requirements.
