A dental crown, sometimes called a cap, serves multiple purposes in dental restoration. Its primary role is to repair teeth that are significantly damaged or decayed by covering the entire tooth from the gumline up. This restores the tooth’s original size, shape, and strength. Crowns come in different materials, including gold, porcelain, or a combination of porcelain and metal. Porcelain crowns are often preferred because they blend naturally with the color and appearance of your other teeth. Our dentist will help you choose the right type of crown to improve your smile.
A crown might be the best solution if a tooth’s damage is too extensive for a regular filling. Crowns are versatile, helping restore both function and appearance. They can:
- Safeguarding a tooth after undergoing root canal therapy
- Securing a dental bridge firmly in place
- Finalizing a dental implant procedure
- Improving the appearance of your smile
- Rectifying the form of a misaligned tooth
- Strengthening a cracked or weakened tooth.
- Providing support for a substantial filling when there’s limited natural tooth structure left.
