A dental crown is recommended when a tooth is too damaged or decayed to be restored with a filling. Crowns preserve as much of the natural tooth as possible and restore its function and appearance. They are custom-made caps that cover the entire tooth, restoring it to its original shape and size. Dental crowns can be made of materials like porcelain, gold, or porcelain fused to metal. If your tooth is weak, fractured, or has undergone root canal treatment, a crown can protect and strengthen it.
Dental crowns serve both restorative and cosmetic purposes. They can protect teeth after root canal treatments, anchor dental bridges, and complete dental implants. Crowns can also improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth, and strengthen weak or fractured teeth. Additionally, crowns are used to support large fillings when only a small amount of natural tooth remains. Porcelain crowns are especially popular for their ability to blend with your natural teeth, enhancing your smile’s beauty.
