From the name itself, crown does exactly what it entails. A crown of a tooth would be the head of your tooth. So when you are about to have a crown in dental language, the head of your tooth is about to be replaced or repaired. When everything or a vast area of a tooth’s crown has been destroyed either by injury or decay, the lost tooth matter has to be restored. To start off, the remaining section of the tooth is trimmed down in preparation for a alternate crown. After having the tooth’s impression of the prepared tooth, the dentist will send it to a dental technician who will then make the replacement crown. The new crown will be cemented on the remaining area of the tooth .A replacement crown’s materials is usually either porcelain or gold or even the mixture of both. Meanwhile, temporary crowns use acrylic.
