Crowns

Dental crowns are caps that cover a tooth or a dental implant. Crowns are the most often preferred treatment to improve shape of teeth that are broken, worn, or partially destroyed by tooth decay and the cosmetic restoration used to strengthen.

There are two types of crowns; Porcelain (with metal) and zirconia crown (metal free). You may need a dental crown for several reasons, including:

Protecting a weak tooth (possibly from decay) from breaking or to keep the weak tooth together if parts of it are cracked. Covering and supporting a tooth with a large filling and not much tooth remaining. Holding a dental bridge in place Covering misshapen or severely discolored teeth. Covering a dental implant. Covering a tooth that’s been treated with a root canal.
