Dental Crown: procedure, before & afters
A dental crown, also known as porcelain crown or ceramic crown is a dental restoration fabricated outside of patients in the laboratory settings by a technician. A dental crown can be made out of different materials like gold, ceramic, porcelain fused to metal.
The dental crown procedure, however, is performed by a licensed dentist and requires significant skills. During the preparation process, the dentist will remove some of the tooth structure across the entire tooth to accommodate the new dental crown. Any compromised tooth structure, like decay or cracks, is also removed during dental crown prep.

The types of dental crowns, in reality, describe the types of materials used to fabricate the crown but the concept and the process from the patient’s standpoint is the same.
