Crowns

What is a Crown?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth – covering the tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, and/or to improve its appearance. The crowns, when cemented into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line.

What are the benefits of a dental crown?

•     To protect a weak tooth (for instance, from decay) from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth
•     Veneers
•     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 misshaped or severely discolored teeth
•     To cover a dental implant
