Dental Crowns

What is a dental crown?

Dental crowns made of porcelain, ceramic or gold are used to cover broken, worn or missing teeth like a “cap”, restoring beauty, strength and function. The type of material used depends both on which teeth are involved and the preference of the patient.

Why might I need a dental crown?

Dental crowns provide a natural-looking and conservative solution to many tooth problems and can be used to:

• Correct bite issues
• Protect teeth weakened by decay or damage
• Replace old metal dental fillings
• Restore dental implants
• Reinforce teeth after root canal therapy
• Improve the appearance, color or shape of teeth
• Secure dental bridges
