A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a tooth. It restores its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are made from a variety of materials. These include metal, resin, and porcelain. The type of crown that is right for you will depend on your individual needs and budget.

The dental crown procedure usually takes two appointments. At the first appointment, your dentist prepares the tooth for the crown. This may involve removing some of the tooth enamel to make room for the crown. Your dentist will then take an impression of the tooth. It will be used to make the crown.
At the second appointment, your dentist will place the crown on the tooth and cement it in place. Once the crown is in place, you will be able to eat and drink as usual.
The cost of a dental crown will vary depending on the type of crown you choose and the location of your dentist. Metal crowns are typically the least expensive, while zirconia crowns are the most expensive.
Dental crowns can last for many years with proper care. Brush your teeth twice a day and floss once a day. You should also see your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings.
