Crowns
A dental crown, also known as cap, are custom-made restorations that encase a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and function. Crowns are often recommended for teeth that have undergone extensive decay, fracture, or root canal therapy.
Dental Crowns
Crowns typically become necessary when a tooth is damaged or weakened to the point where a filling cannot sufficiently repair it. Cosmetic considerations aside, crowns are primarily indicated in instances where there is insufficient remaining tooth structure.
Frequently, this arises from a tooth having a substantial filling, experiencing a fracture, or becoming weakened due to root canal therapy.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is fitted over your existing tooth. It provides a long-term solution, and once it’s securely affixed, a crown should appear, feel, and function just like any other natural tooth.
