Dental Crowns
Restore, Protect, and Strengthen Your Smile
What is a Dental Crown?
Not Just a "Fake Tooth"
Sometimes referred to as a "cap," a dental crown is a custom-made restoration that covers and protects a tooth. Crowns are often the treatment of choice when a tooth has an extensive fracture, excessive wear, or even from a preventive standpoint to avoid fractures due to large fillings.
Contrary to popular belief, a crown is not a "fake tooth." The natural root remains in place, while the visible portion of the tooth is carefully shaped to allow the fabricated crown to fit securely on top. This preserves your natural tooth structure and restores both function and appearance.
When is a Crown Recommended?
Protecting and Restoring Teeth
- Extensive fractures or cracks in a tooth
- Teeth with large fillings that weaken the remaining structure
- Severely worn or eroded teeth
- After root canal treatment to protect the tooth
- To improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth
Crowns are custom-crafted to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, providing a seamless and durable solution. With proper care, a crown can last many years and help you maintain a healthy, confident smile.
