Dental Crowns

Overview

A dental crown is a custom cap that fully covers a tooth to restore its shape, strength and appearance. Crowns are used after significant damage, large fillings or root canal treatment, and can be made from various ceramics.

Your dentist selects the crown material and construction to suit the tooth’s position and function, balancing durability with a natural look.
