Dental crowns are custom-made caps placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. They are often used to repair teeth that are damaged, decayed, or weakened, providing long-lasting protection and support. Dental crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, metal, or a combination of both, depending on the specific needs of the patient.
