🦷 Dental Crowns

Restore Your Smile with Durable, Natural-Looking Crowns

Permanent dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including all-metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal, all-resin, or all-ceramic. At Mosaic Dental Center, we create customized crown solutions to restore your tooth’s strength, shape, and natural beauty.

❓ What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” placed over a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s size, shape, strength, and appearance. Once cemented in place, the crown covers the visible part of the tooth above the gumline — protecting and enhancing your smile.

🩺 When Is a Dental Crown Needed?

A dental crown may be recommended to:

  • 🦷 Protect a weak or decayed tooth from breaking
  • 🪄 Hold together parts of a cracked tooth
  • 💪 Restore a broken or severely worn-down tooth
  • 🧱 Support a tooth with a large filling and limited structure
  • 🔗 Anchor a dental bridge in place
  • ✨ Cover a misshapen or severely discolored tooth
  • ⚙️ Cap a dental implant
  • ❤️ Protect a tooth after a root canal

💎 Types of Dental Crown Materials

1️⃣ Metal Crowns

Metals used in crowns include gold, palladium, nickel, and chromium. Metal crowns are highly durable, resistant to wear, and require minimal tooth removal. They can withstand strong chewing forces, making them ideal for molars. The main drawback is their metallic color, which makes them less suitable for visible teeth.

2️⃣ Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns

PFM crowns combine the strength of metal with the beauty of porcelain. They can be color-matched to surrounding teeth for a natural look. However, the metal underneath can sometimes show as a dark line near the gums, and the porcelain layer may chip over time. These crowns are a great choice for both front and back teeth.

3️⃣ All-Resin Crowns

All-resin crowns are a more affordable option, but they’re less durable and may wear down faster than other types. They’re best suited for temporary or budget-conscious restorations.

4️⃣ All-Ceramic or All-Porcelain Crowns

All-ceramic crowns offer the best natural color match and are free of metal, making them perfect for patients with metal allergies. They’re commonly used for front teeth due to their lifelike translucency, though they may be slightly less strong than metal-based crowns.

5️⃣ Pressed Ceramic Crowns

Pressed ceramic crowns feature a strong inner core that replaces the metal liner found in traditional all-ceramic crowns. They are capped with porcelain, providing a natural appearance and excellent durability — a great balance between beauty and strength.
