Crowns

A crown covers a tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength when it has become damaged and a filling will not solve the problem. Crowns allow you to keep the tooth function and protect it from fracturing.

A crown may be needed in the following situations:

• Cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth left
• Be used to cover a dental implant
• Provides an effective way to cover teeth that are misshapen or discolored
• Hold a bridge in place
• Protect a weak tooth from breaking or restore one that is already broken
