What is a Tooth Cap (Dental Crown)?
A tooth cap, professionally known as a dental crown, is a custom-made, tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over your entire natural tooth, all the way down to the gum line. It effectively covers the visible portion of the tooth, restoring its original size, shape, strength, and appearance. Think of it as a protective helmet for your tooth, guarding it against further damage while enhancing its look.
Key Features & Benefits:

- Increased Durability: Made from robust, high-quality materials designed to withstand daily wear and tear for many years with proper care.
- Improved Oral Health: Helps maintain proper bite alignment and prevents shifting of adjacent teeth, contributing to overall oral stability.
- Custom Fit: Individually crafted in a dental lab to perfectly fit your prepared tooth and integrate harmoniously with your bite.
- Long-Term Solution: A durable investment in your oral health that can last 10-15 years or even longer.
Who Can Benefit from a Tooth Cap?
A tooth cap is an ideal solution for various dental conditions, including:
- Severely Decayed Teeth: When a filling is too large or insufficient to restore tooth strength and structure.
- Cracked or Broken Teeth: To hold parts of a cracked tooth together and prevent further damage or breakage.
- After Root Canal Treatment: To protect the weakened, devitalized tooth from fracture.
- Large Fillings: To cover and support a tooth with a large existing filling that is failing or causing weakness.
- Cosmetic Enhancement: To cover discolored, misshapen, or poorly aligned teeth, transforming their appearance.
- Dental Bridges: To anchor a dental bridge in place, supporting artificial teeth.
- Dental Implants: As the final restoration (the "tooth" part) placed on top of a dental implant.
Material Options (Tailored to Your Needs):
We offer a range of advanced materials to suit your specific aesthetic, strength, and budgetary requirements:
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM): Offers a robust combination of strength from the metal substructure and natural aesthetics from the porcelain outer layer. A traditional, reliable choice.
- All-Ceramic / All-Porcelain: Provides the most natural look, mimicking the translucency of natural tooth enamel. Ideal for front teeth and for patients with metal sensitivities.
- Zirconia: An extremely strong and durable ceramic material that is highly biocompatible and offers excellent aesthetics. Perfect for both front and back teeth where high strength is needed.
- E-max (Lithium Disilicate): Known for its exceptional strength and impressive translucency, E-max crowns are highly aesthetic and durable, often preferred for visible teeth.
- Gold or Other Metal Alloys: Highly durable, biocompatible, and resistant to fracture. Excellent for back molars where biting forces are strong and aesthetics are less of a primary concern.
The Tooth Cap Process:
Typically, the placement of a permanent tooth cap involves two dental visits:
- Preparation: Your tooth is gently prepared (shaped) to make room for the cap. Impressions are taken, and the shade is matched. A temporary crown is then placed to protect your tooth while your custom permanent cap is fabricated in a dental lab.
- Placement: Once your custom cap is ready, the temporary crown is removed. Your new permanent cap is carefully checked for fit, bite, and appearance, and then securely bonded into place, restoring your tooth's full function and beauty.
