An Overview of Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a tooth -- to cover the tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, and improve its appearance.
A dental crown may be needed in the following situations
For children, a crown may be used on primary (baby) teeth in order to Facilitate chewing and improved speech
Permanent crowns can be made from stainless steel, all metal (such as gold or another alloy), porcelain-fused-to-metal, all resin, or all ceramic.
Stainless steel crowns are prefabricated crowns that are used on permanent teeth primarily as a temporary measure.
The crown protects the tooth or filling while a permanent crown is made from another material.
For children, a stainless steel crown is commonly used to fit over a primary tooth that's been prepared to fit it.
The crown covers the entire tooth and protects it from further decay.
When the primary tooth comes out to make room for the permanent tooth, the crown comes out naturally with it.
In general, stainless steel crowns are used for children's teeth because they don't require multiple dental visits to put in place and so are more cost- effective than custom-made crowns and prophylactic dental care needed to protect a tooth without a crown.
