Crowns Explained: What You Need to Know Before Getting One
By TM Dental Solutions – Kampala’s Trusted Dental Experts
If your dentist has recommended a crown, you might have a few questions:
What is it? Will it hurt? What kind of crown should I get?
At TM Dental Solutions Kampala, we believe in educating our patients, not just treating them. So here’s everything you need to know before getting a dental crown — from types and benefits to pricing and our gentle process.
👑
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a damaged, cracked, or weakened tooth. It restores:
- The tooth’s shape
- Its strength
- Its appearance
Crowns are also used after root canal treatment or to cover large fillings when not enough natural tooth is left.
🔍
Why You Might Need a Crown
You may need a dental crown if you:
- Have a cracked, broken, or worn-down tooth
- Recently had a root canal
- Want to improve the look of a discolored or oddly shaped tooth
- Need to support a dental bridge
Crowns protect the tooth and help prevent more serious problems later — including extractions.
