CROWNS
Crowns are among the most advanced restorations in modern dentistry, combining exceptional strength with refined aesthetics.
What Are Dental Crown ?
Dental crowns, inlays, and onlays are restorative solutions designed to repair damaged teeth, restore strength, and improve aesthetics. These restorations are fabricated with precision in the dental laboratory to ensure durability, function, and natural appearance.
Types of Crowns
- Zirconia Crowns: High-strength ceramic with excellent aesthetics and durability.
- E.max (Lithium Disilicate): Highly aesthetic all-ceramic crowns with superior translucency and strength.
- PFM (Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal): Combines strength of metal with aesthetic porcelain overlay.
Inlays
Inlays are indirect restorations used to repair cavities or damage within the cusps of a tooth. They are fabricated outside the mouth and bonded to the tooth for a precise and durable fit.
Common materials include ceramic, composite, or lithium disilicate.
Onlays
Onlays are similar to inlays but extend to cover one or more cusps of the tooth. They provide additional protection and reinforcement while preserving more natural tooth structure compared to full crowns.
Onlays are often referred to as partial crowns because they restore larger portions of the tooth without requiring full coverage.

Dental crowns are commonly indicated for:
- Restoring broken or heavily decayed teeth
- Replacing old, worn, or discolored crowns
