Dental crowns are versatile restorations that serve multiple purposes. Typically, a crown is recommended for teeth that are extensively damaged or decayed. Each crown is custom-made to fit seamlessly with your smile. It is placed over the damaged tooth, restoring its natural appearance, shape, and size. Dental crowns can be crafted from gold, porcelain, or porcelain fused to metal. Porcelain crowns are especially popular since they can be matched to the natural color of your teeth. During your consultation, our dentist will assist you in choosing the type of crown that best suits your needs.
A dental crown might be suggested by our dentist if your tooth is too damaged to be repaired with a filling. Crowns are used for several purposes, such as:
- Capping a dental implant restoration
- Anchoring a dental bridge
- Correcting the shape of misshapen teeth
- Strengthening weak or fractured teeth
- Supporting a large filling that the tooth cannot hold on its own
- Enhancing the appearance of your smile and boosting your confidence
