A dental crown is a cap that surrounds the tooth. We usually wear a crown to restore a damaged tooth, but it can also be used to improve the appearance of a smile. A crown can consist of three different materials, all-metal, ceramic-on-metal, and all-ceramic. The location of the crown on the teeth will determine the best material to use. For example, the front teeth should have an all-ceramic crown, if possible, as it looks more natural. Patients can often wear ceramic-on-metal crowns as they look natural but have the durability that only metal can provide. 9625142125
