What Are Crowns?
A crown (or cap) is a protective restoration that covers the entire tooth surface and restores it to its original size and shape. When a tooth cannot be restored with a filling, a crown is used to protect and strengthen the tooth structure. A crown can also be a solution to decayed teeth, large fillings, and fillings that have fractured. Crowns are often used on teeth that have had a root canal.
There are several types of crowns with all-ceramic being the most widely used. Ceramic crowns are tooth-colored and are made to match the color, size, and shape of your teeth to give you a natural looking smile. Crowns are very durable and will last many years, but may eventually need to be replaced like most dental restorations.
