| Crowns are single tooth restorations that are recommended in cases where there is insufficient tooth structure left due to fractures, decay or failing restorations. Crowns cover the entire visible tooth surface and help restore broken down teeth to proper function and esthetics.
Crowns can be used to attach a bridge, protect a weak tooth from breaking or restore one that is already broken. A crown is a good way to cover teeth that are discolored or badly shaped. It is also used to cover a dental implants.
If your dentist recommends a crown, it is probably to correct one of these conditions. Our primary concern, like yours, is helping you keep your teeth healthy and your smile bright. |
