How New Crowns for Teeth Restore Strength, Function, and Confidence
A tooth that’s been damaged or discolored has a way of making itself the main character in your life. One minute you’re happily taking selfies with friends and living your best life, and the next minute you’re covering your mouth when you smile or laugh. Dr. Hema Nair at Star Care Dental offers new crowns to help you feel confident again.
What Is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns completely cover your tooth. They’re designed so they match the exact shape and color of your real teeth. They can make your smile gorgeous again and also protect a damaged tooth.
What Dental Issues Can Be Fixed with Dental Crowns?
One of the reasons dental crowns are so popular is their flexibility. They can be used for both restorative dentistry and cosmetic purposes.
- Teeth that are cracked or broken
- Decay that’s too extensive to fix with a filling
- Worn-down teeth
- A tooth that’s too weak to stand on its own
- Failed fillings
- Teeth that are shaped differently from your other teeth
- Stains that can’t be cleared up with professional teeth whitening
How Do Natural Looking Crowns for Front Teeth Improve How My Teeth Look?
Modern dental crowns are made from materials such as porcelain and ceramic. So Dr. Nair can match them perfectly in terms of both color and surface texture to your real dental enamel. Even down to how light reflects off of your teeth. Dr. Nair’s crowns blend perfectly with the rest of your smile.

What Are the Different Types of Dental Crowns?
There are lots of different materials you can have crowns made out of, and each one has its own strengths.
- Gold or other metal: These are the longest-lasting. Dr. Nair may recommend metal for back teeth because they’re your hard-working molars.
- Porcelain: The most popular because they look nearly identical to real teeth.
- Porcelain fused to metal: The strength of metal with porcelain on the outer layer, so they look totally natural.
- Zirconia: Extremely realistic and strong. Dr. Nair can use these for either front teeth or back teeth.
- Ceramic: Zero metal. A good choice for people with metal sensitivity.
How Long Does a Dental Crown Usually Last?
Most people keep their crowns for 10 to 15 years if they take good care of their teeth, sometimes even longer. It depends on the material your crown is made out of and where it is in your mouth. The key is to take care of your teeth as usual and see Dr. Nair every six months for check-ups.
Can Dr. Nair Use Dental Crowns with Other Dental Treatments?
After a root canal, Dr. Nair will usually place a crown to protect your tooth. They are also used on top of dental implants or to anchor a bridge.
