Dental Crowns in Vanak, Tehran

A dental crown is one of the most effective ways to protect damaged or weakened teeth and to restore their shape, strength and natural beauty. Like a cap, a crown covers the entire tooth surface and protects it against further fracture and decay. At the practice of Dr. Zahra Sadat Shamekhi, a DHA-licensed general dentist practising since 2013 in Vanak, Tehran, crowns are made with precise preparation and high-quality materials matched to the colour of your teeth.

A crown is especially important after root canal treatment, because a root-treated tooth is more brittle and needs a protective cover to last longer. Below you will learn about the types of crowns, their benefits, the steps and the aftercare they require.

What is a dental crown?

A crown is a covering that encases the entire visible part of the tooth (the crown of the tooth) and rebuilds it. Crowns are used for teeth that have been weakened by extensive decay, fracture, severe wear or after a root canal. In addition to protecting the tooth, a crown also corrects its shape, size and colour and restores its chewing function.

Types of dental crowns

• Zirconia crowns: very strong and beautiful, suitable for both front and back teeth.
• All-ceramic crowns: with excellent translucency and very natural beauty, ideal for front teeth.
• PFM crowns (metal-ceramic): combining the strength of metal and the beauty of ceramic at a more economical cost.

Benefits of dental crowns

Beyond aesthetics, a crown helps preserve and prolong the life of the natural tooth. Its most important benefits include:

• Protecting a weakened tooth against fracture
• Restoring the shape, size and chewing function
• Correcting the colour and beauty of the tooth
• Extending the life of the tooth after a root canal
