Dental crowns are used to repair teeth that are significantly damaged or decayed. A type of dental restoration, a crown is designed to completely encase the damaged tooth beginning at the gumline. By covering the tooth, the dental crown restores the tooth to its original shape, size and function. Dental crowns are often created from tooth-colored materials, such as porcelain, to blend in beautifully with your natural teeth. In addition to restoring a damaged or decayed tooth, a dental crown can be used to improve your smile by:
- Strengthening a fractured or weakened tooth
- Completing a dental implant
- Protecting a tooth after root canal therapy
- Anchoring a dental bridge
- Improving the function and appearance of an irregularly shaped tooth
- Supporting a tooth with a large dental filling
- Enhancing the beauty of your smile
