A crown is a dental restoration that covers a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of these materials. The type of dentist who places crowns is a prosthodontist.
Prosthodontists are dentists who specialize in the restoration and replacement of teeth. They have advanced training in the design, fabrication, and placement of crowns, bridges, dentures, and other dental prosthetics. Prosthodontists also work closely with other dental specialists, such as periodontists and oral surgeons, to provide comprehensive dental care for patients.
