Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that are placed over teeth to restore their shape, size, strength, or appearance. A crown not only strengthens a tooth but can also dramatically improve a tooth’s appearance, shape, and alignment. When the crown adheres into place, it will fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line.
Dental crowns may be used to:
- Replace a large filling when only minimal tooth structure remains
- Protect a weak tooth from fracturing
- Restore a fractured tooth
- Attach a dental bridge
- Cover a dental implant
- Cover a discolored or poorly shaped tooth
- Cover a tooth that has had root canal treatment
