A dental crown, also known as a dental cap, is a versatile dental restoration with a range of applications. Dental crowns are primarily recommended to restore teeth that have been severely damaged or extensively decayed. These custom-made crowns are designed to encase the entire tooth, starting at the gumline, thereby restoring its original shape and size. When selecting a material for dental crowns, patients often opt for porcelain, or porcelain-fused-to-metal, due to their ability to closely mimic the natural color and appearance of natural teeth. Our experienced dentists will work closely with you to determine the most suitable type of dental crown for your unique smile.

Dental crowns are not limited to just restorative purposes. They serve a variety of functions, including:

Protection After Root Canal: Following root canal treatment, a dental crown can safeguard the treated tooth, preventing further damage.
Anchor for Dental Bridge: Crowns are used to anchor and attach dental bridges, providing stability and functionality to a gap caused by missing teeth.
Completion of Dental Implants: Crowns are utilized to cover and complete dental implants, offering a natural-looking and functional tooth replacement solution.
Aesthetic Enhancement: ECrowns can enhance the beauty of your smile by improving the appearance of discolored, misshapen or unsightly teeth.
Strength and Support: They strengthen fractured or weakened teeth and provide crucial support when a large filling is required with minimal remaining natural tooth structure.
