What are Dental Crowns?

Broken tooth? Badly decayed tooth? Don’t Panic you probably won’t lose the tooth! We may be able to save your tooth with a dental crown.

A crown is a tooth shaped cover that is positioned over an existing damaged tooth to enhance strength and durability and to create a smoother look.

Reasons for Crown Placement

Reinforce a tooth that is cracked or broken

Repair a tooth that has an old large filling

Cover a tooth that is severely decayed

Reinforce a tooth that has had a root canal

Encase a dental implant

Anchor a dental bridge

Crowns strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure and can improve the appearance of your smile. Types of crowns include the full porcelain crown (ideal for use on the front teeth), the porcelain-fused-to-metal crown and the all-metal crown (ideal for use on the back teeth).
