What Are Dental Crowns?
A Dental crown is a customized cap that perfectly fits over a damaged or decayed tooth, protecting it from further damage. It can help restore your biting and chewing ability while improving the overall shape and appearance of your teeth.
LiT Dental crafts the best dental crowns from a variety of materials, such as porcelain, metal, and ceramics, to give them a tooth-colored and natural look.
Types of Dental Crowns Available
Different types of materials are used to customize dental crowns to fit every tooth. We help you decide on the suitable one based on your oral health needs, preferences, budget, and oral health needs.
Metal dental crowns: Made of some metals like platinum or gold, which are more durable and strong. These crowns sustain chewing forces and last several years without wearing out. Because of its color, metal crowns are suitable for molars.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns: These are tooth-colored crowns that match perfectly with adjacent teeth, giving a more natural look. These crowns can wear off, or after some time, you will start to see a metal line over your gum line. However, these are perfect for back teeth.
All porcelain: These dental crowns give the perfect natural color match. However, these are as strong as metal crowns but suitable for people with metal allergies. Dentists use them as front teeth crowns.
Stainless steel dental crowns: This type of dental crown is used as a temporary crown to protect damaged teeth until a permanent crown is made. They are commonly used to protect a child’s primary teeth until the permanent teeth emerge, and the crown will eventually fall off.

What happens during a dental crown procedure?
A dental crown procedure requires two visits – During your first visit
Consultation: When you first visit LiT Dental Clinic, our dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth and assess the condition of your damaged teeth. She will then discuss dental solutions and help you decide on the best dental crown material while keeping everything within your budget.
Preparation: Dr. Vaqar will explain the whole process and prepare your tooth for crown placement. This involves removing some enamel to make enough room for a crown.
Dental impressions: She will take your tooth impressions, which can be either digital impressions taken with a scanner or physical impressions taken with a material. Once done, she will send these to a lab to make customized crowns of your tooth shape. This will take 2-3 weeks.
Temporary crown: She will put a temporary dental crown over your damaged tooth to protect it until your permanent crowns are completely ready.
During your second visit
Once the permanent crown is delivered to our clinic, our dentist will:
- Remove the temporary crown.
- Clear out the space and check for your new crown’s size and shape.
- Place and fix your permanent crown over your cleaned tooth with dental material.
Here, you are ready to glow with a confident smile.
