While you might be picturing a beautifully restored smile, a more fundamental question is likely on your mind: Does a dental crown actually protect my natural tooth, or is it just a cosmetic fix? The answer is a resounding yes. Think of a dental crown as a durable, custom-fitted helmet for a weakened tooth. It&#8217;s not just about aesthetics; it\u2019s about providing critical reinforcement, holding your tooth together and shielding it from further harm.

Crowns are used to restore teeth that are badly decayed or broken, or that have been previously treated with root canal therapy. There are several types of crowns, including All-porcelain, SAPTeeth, Ceramic-fused-to-metal, and Cast gold. Dental crowns are used to protect natural teeth by serving as a covering that fits over a damaged or decayed tooth. The crown restores the tooth&#8217;s strength, shape, and appearance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17657 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Natural-Teeth-Vs-Dental-Crown-510x268.jpg\" alt=\"Natural teeth vs dental crown\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crowns over natural teeth or implant are used to strengthen weak or broken teeth or to cover it with aesthetic defects such as discolouration or gaps in between. Crowns are also used to cover teeth that have been treated with root canal therapy. The main advantage of a crown over other treatments is that it protects the neighbouring teeth from further damage. Can be made from a variety of materials, including SAPTeeth, porcelain, ceramic, and metal, allowing for a natural-looking restoration.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 id=\"h-do-dental-crowns-protect-your-teeth\" class=\"has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do dental crowns protect your teeth?<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crowns protect your teeth in a variety of ways. First, they shield the tooth that they\u2019re covering from further decay. They can also protect your teeth from damage caused by chewing forces, such as when you bite into an apple or a steak. Crowns can also strengthen teeth that have been weakened by periodontal disease. Crowns can even protect teeth from certain oral health issues such as TMJ disorder, which can cause chronic pain in the jaw.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"10865\" class=\"wp-image-10865 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screenshot-2022-05-16-at-7.14.44-PM.png\" alt=\"Dental Crowns in One Day\" width=\"196\" height=\"342\" title=\"\">\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Missing Teeth with SAPTeeth<\/strong><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"4966\" class=\"wp-image-4966 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2021-02-08-at-10.53.06-AM-509x900.png\" alt=\"Dental Crown Fixing\" width=\"232\" height=\"410\" title=\"\">\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Dental Crown Fixing<\/strong><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"10089\" class=\"wp-image-10089 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screenshot-2022-05-03-at-6.54.36-AM.png\" alt=\"SAPTeeth Smile over Natural teeth\" width=\"253\" height=\"440\" title=\"\">\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Upper dental crowns<\/strong><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental crowns are used to protect natural teeth by serving as a covering that fits over a damaged or decayed tooth.

The crown acts as a cap or covering, helping to protect the remaining tooth structure and restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Placing a crown over a natural tooth can help to improve the tooth&#8217;s overall health, function, and appearance, and can prevent further damage or decay from occurring. The process of placing a dental crown usually involves two dental appointments and may require the removal of some of the tooth&#8217;s existing structure to make room for the crown.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-612 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image-13.png\" alt=\"dental crows SAPTeeth\" width=\"460\" height=\"243\" title=\"\">\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">artificial teeth on cast fake teeth<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SAPTeeth\u00a0is a group of highly specialized polymers; specially made to protect the bone, implant, or natural tooth. Research shows that ceramic, porcelain, Ni-Cr, and Zirconia teeth exert about 24 to 149 times more stress on bone as compared to SAPTeeth<sup>TM<\/sup>. This difference is due to the shock absorbing capability of these polymers. Therefore, in patients with weak bone or low calcium, SAPTeeth\u00a0are recommended over conventional prosthesis. The best part of these is that they are customized to perfectly re-create your smile.
