Crowns

Crowns: A crown is a restoration that covers a tooth in order to strengthen and restore it to its normal shape and size; it may be placed to support a large filling when there is little remaining tooth structure, attach a bridge, protect weak teeth from fracturing, or restore fractured teeth. Crowns can be made out of porcelain, metal, or a combination of porcelain and metal.  A tooth that has been treated with root canal therapy will require a crown following treatment to provide strength and support to the tooth. When designing crowns, we use only materials that will provide the longest lasting benefits to our patients.
