Restoring damaged teeth to enhance your smile.

What is a dental crown?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth; covering the tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, and to improve its appearance.

Why would I need a dental crown?

A dental crown is suggested for the following conditions:

To protect a weak tooth (for instance, from decay) from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth
To restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down
To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't a lot of tooth left
To hold a dental bridge in place
To cover misshapened or severely discolored teeth
To cover a dental implant

What are the benefits?

Dental crowns are durable and lasts for years
The look of the tooth will be natural
Full function will be restored to the tooth
The tooth will be completely protected
A destroyed tooth will get its initial shape after the placement of the crown
