Dental crowns are tooth-shaped “Teeh caps” that are placed over a tooth. The crown, when cemented into place, fully encases the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gumline.
The placement of Dental Crowns is often recommended to:
- Protect a tooth that has had a root canal
- Reinforce a tooth that is cracked or broken
- Repair a tooth that has an old, large filling when there is not a lot of tooth structure left
- Cover a tooth that is severely decayed
- Encase a dental implant
- Anchor a dental bridge
- Cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth
- Make a cosmetic modification
Types of Dental Crowns
Types of crowns include the full porcelain crown (ideal for use on the front teeth), the porcelain-fused-to-metal crown, and the all-metal crown (ideal for use on the back teeth). We can discuss these options with you and let you know our recommendations.
