MANTOOTH Q: What is a crown? A: A crown, sometimes called a cap, is a natural-looking cover, your dentist places over a tooth weakened or disfigured by wear, decay, trauma and the like. A crown restores the natural shape of the tooth. Crowns can also give uniformity and luster to a smile. The crown, however, serves not only a cosmetic purpose, but also strengthens the tooth. Crowns generally are made from porcelain, porcelain fused to metal, resin or ceramic. Resin crowns are the least expensive, but are more susceptible to wear. Ceramic and porcelain offer the best color match. Permanent crowns are made in a dental laboratory to specifipatlons set by your: dentist. Your dentist can fit you with a temporary crown while permanent crowns are-being made. Temporary crowns generally are made of acrylic or stainless steel. Depending on the extent of work needed in your mouth. This type of dentist is called a prosthodontist. There are many procedures and materials that are available to strengthen your teeth and beautify your smile. Talk with your dentist about them. Presented as a service to the community by HERBERT C.
