In-Depth
What You Need to Know
Crowns are one of the most common restorative procedures in dentistry. They are used when a tooth is severely decayed, cracked, or weakened after a root canal. Crowns can be made from porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys, or a combination. The process typically requires two visits: one for preparation and impression, and another for placement. With proper care, dental crowns can last 10-15 years or longer.
