Dental crowns (or tooth caps) are dental prostheses composed of porcelain or acrylic materials fused to metal to resist breakage by biting pressure. These are custom prepared by the dentist in a dental laboratory to fit over the entire tooth (sometimes used as a replacement tooth). In Cosmetic Dentistry in Gurgaon, they are popular to treat severely decayed, broken, poorly shaped, chipped teeth and even in patients who have large gaps in between the teeth or those who had large dental fillings. Porcelain crowns are durable and provide a natural-tooth-like appearance as they boast a reduced thickness and allow increased transmission of light through them. But, these are not preferred in those areas of the mouth that are involved in the heavy functioning of teeth (such as molars).
