Dental Crowns

Crowns                            

Crowns are used to restore and enhance teeth that are damaged, or to replace missing teeth. A crown, also called a cap, is used to entirely cover a damaged tooth. A crown not only strengthens the tooth, but it can also dramatically improve the tooth's appearance, shape and alignment.                            

Crowns may be used to…

                               
• Replace a large filling when there is little tooth structure remaining
                               
• Protect a weak tooth from fracturing
                               
• Restore a fractured tooth
                               
• Attach a bridge
                               
• Cover a dental implant
                               
• Cover a discolored or poorly-shaped tooth
                               
• Cover a tooth that has had root canal treatment
