Dental crowns are custom-made restorations designed to mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth. With proper craftsmanship and care, a well-matched dental crown should blend seamlessly with your smile.
A key element of this process comes before a crown is ever placed, when your dentist matches the color of any crowns to be fabricated to your natural tooth color. Once they’ve identified the proper shape and shade, your dentist sends these specifications to a dental lab for fabrication. The dental lab then uses a material you choose – porcelain and ceramic are common and effective — to custom-craft crowns that closely resemble your natural tooth enamel.
Your dentist works closely with the lab to ensure the chosen shade blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. Advanced color-matching techniques, like shade guides and digital imaging, help ensure an accurate match. Additionally, skilled dental technicians may incorporate subtle variations in color and translucency to create a natural appearance.
