Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth to cover the tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, and 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.

A dental crown may be needed in the following situations:
-To protect a weak tooth (for instance, from decay) from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth

• 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 mis-shapened or severely discolored teeth
• To cover a dental implant
• To make a cosmetic modification
