Crowns

A crown (also referred to as a cap) is used to entirely cover a damaged tooth.  A crown not only strengthens a tooth, but it can dramatically improve a tooth’s appearance, shape and alignment. Crowns may be used to: 

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cover placed over a tooth and secured with dental cement. Crowns are generally used to improve the strength or appearance of the tooth, and are used to protect broken, worn down teeth. They are also used to cover dental implants, a dental bridge or a tooth with a large filling. A dental impression usually takes place in order to fabricate the crown.

Most crowns are made from Gold or other metal, and Porcelain:

  • Porcelain crowns are aesthetically more appealing and very natural looking.
  • Gold or other metal is usually used on the back teeth, is easier to use than porcelain and requires less tooth be drilled  away.
  • Replace a large filling when there is little tooth structure remaining
  • Protect a weak tooth from fracturing
  • Restore a fractured tooth
  • Attach a bridge
  • Cover a dental implant
  • Cover a discolored or poorly shaped tooth
  • Cover a tooth that has had root canal treatment
