How are dental crowns used?
Porcelain crowns are frequently used in restorative dentistry to restore broken or badly decayed teeth. The crown fits over the remaining tooth like a cap to protect it and restore it to its original shape. Crowns look and function just like natural teeth, fit snugly at the gum line, and protect the remaining natural tooth from further decay. They can also improve facial contours affected by missing teeth and prevent shifting and overuse of the surrounding tooth structure.
