Crowns: Restoring Your Smile’s Beauty and Function

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Dr. Amira Lashin offers high-quality crown treatments to restore your smile’s beauty and function.

When are Crowns Needed?

Crowns are often used to:

• Repair a cracked or broken tooth:
• Protect a weak tooth from breaking:
• Restore a tooth that has had a large filling:
• Hold a dental bridge in place:
• Cover a discolored or misshapen tooth:

Types of Crowns:

• Ceramic Crowns: These are highly aesthetic and closely resemble natural teeth.
• Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns: These crowns combine the strength of metal with the beauty of porcelain.
• Metal Crowns: These are durable and often used for molars.

The Crown Placement Process:

1. Preparation: The tooth is prepared by removing any decay or damaged portion.
2. Impression: An impression is taken of the prepared tooth to create a custom-made crown.
3. Temporary Crown: A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while the permanent crown is being made.
4. Permanent Crown Placement: The permanent crown is cemented onto the prepared tooth.

With Dr. Amira Lashin’s expertise, you can restore your smile’s beauty and function with a durable and natural-looking crown.
