Dental crowns are custom-fit “caps” that fit over the entire tooth structure, restoring the strength, function, comfort and appearance of your teeth. They are cemented into place to cover the visible portion of a tooth entirely. Crowns can be made from a variety of highly durable and lifelike materials.
Why Choose Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are often recommended in cases of significant tooth decay, fracture, or structural damage that compromises the tooth’s integrity. They provide vital reinforcement and protection, particularly after root canal therapy or extensive restoration. Moreover, crowns are instrumental in restoring the functionality and aesthetics of a tooth, ensuring proper chewing and preserving facial symmetry. Patients experiencing pain, sensitivity, or noticeable deterioration in their tooth structure should consult a dentist for an evaluation, as dental crowns may be a necessary solution to safeguard dental health and restore a confident smile.
