Dental diagnose

Dental crowns, also known as caps, are custom-made restorations that are designed to cover or replace damaged, decayed, or misshapen teeth. They can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, metal, ceramic, or a combination of these materials. Crowns are typically recommended when a tooth is too damaged or weakened to be restored with a filling or bonding, or when a tooth needs to be replaced with a dental implant. The crown is cemented onto the existing tooth structure or implant, providing a strong, durable, and natural-looking restoration. With proper care and maintenance, a dental crown can last for many years.

Dental implants are a type of dental restoration that is designed to replace one or more missing teeth. They are essentially artificial tooth roots that are made of biocompatible materials, such as titanium, that fuse with the jawbone to provide a stable and permanent base for a dental crown or other prosthetic. Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even a full arch of teeth, depending on the individual patient’s needs. They offer a number of advantages over traditional dental restorations, such as dentures and bridges, because they are more durable, natural-looking, and do not require any special maintenance beyond regular dental hygiene practices.
