What are crowns?
A crown is a restoration that covers, or ‘caps,’ a tooth to restore it to its standard shape and size, strengthening and improving the appearance of a tooth. When a tooth is generally broken down, crowns are necessary, and fillings won’t solve the problem. If a tooth is cracked, a crown holds the tooth together to seal the cracks so the damage doesn’t worsen. Crowns are also used to support a large filling when there isn’t enough of the tooth remaining, attach a bridge, protect weak teeth from fracturing, restore fractured teeth, or cover poorly shaped or discolored teeth.
