Dental Crowns

Dental crowns, also known as caps, are used to restore a tooth’s function and appearance when its structural integrity is compromised beyond what a filling can repair.

Common Reasons for Dental Crowns:

• Broken or Fractured Teeth: To restore strength and function.
• Large Cavities: When a filling is not sufficient.
• Large Existing Fillings: To provide additional support.
• Root Canal Therapy: To protect the treated tooth.

Crowns are also necessary when decay has advanced to the point where significant portions of the tooth must be removed. They are used to attach bridges, cover implants, or prevent a cracked tooth from worsening. Additionally, crowns serve an esthetic purpose by restoring the natural appearance of discolored or stained teeth.
