In this video, Vahid Bashi, DDS, discusses the meticulously crafted artificial teeth known as crowns—providing a natural look and restoring smiles flawlessly.
People often inquire about what a dental crown is. A crown, also known as a cap, is essentially a cover that encases the entire tooth. Its primary purpose is to protect the tooth from further damage, reducing the risk of cavities or breakage. Additionally, a crown enhances the aesthetic appearance of the tooth, making it look flawless.
Crowns are meticulously crafted in a dental laboratory to ensure they replicate the appearance of a natural, healthy tooth. This customization process allows for a perfect match with the surrounding teeth in terms of color and shape. As a result, crowns blend in seamlessly with your natural teeth, giving the appearance of a brand new tooth and restoring your smile to its optimal state.
