CROWN

Dental crows are toothshaped “cap”s placed over the tooth to restore the shape, size, strength and appearance of damaged tooth

To protect a weak tooth (for instance, from decay) from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth
To restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down
To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't a lot of tooth left
To hold a dental bridge in place
To cover misshapened or severely discolored teeth
To cover a dental implant
To make a cosmetic modification

There are different types of crown:

metal - metals that can be used in dental crowns, including gold, palladium, nickel and chromium
porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM)- type of dental crown can be matched to the color of the teeth that’s next to the crown
all-resin - Dental crowns made out of resin are generally less expensive than other crown types; resin are insoluble materials exuded by plants
all-ceramic or all-porcelain - types of dental crowns provide the best natural color match compared to any other crown type; also a good choice if you have metal allergies; ceramics are clay materials exposed to high heat

IMPLANT CROWN

Dental Code: D6058 porcelain/ceramic crown anchored to an implant abutment
This code describes an "abutment supported" crown anchored over either a prefabricated (D6056) or custom abutment (D6057). D6058 is not attached directly to the implant body
