A dental crown, sometimes called a cap, is a restoration that has multiple indications for use. One of the most common reasons that you may need a dental crown is to restore a tooth that has a large amount of damage or decay. The crown is custom made to fit over the tooth and restore the tooth to its original size and shape. Most dental crowns in our office are made of tooth colored materials called emax or zirconia because they match the natural color and appearance of your teeth while providing the necessary strength to help you smile again with confidence.
Sometimes we can even replace a tooth that is missing with a bridge which is similar to a crown but attaches to the adjacent teeth.
Crowns can also be used for a number of other restorative and aesthetic purposes, including:
- To support a large filling when little natural tooth structure remain
- To strengthen a tooth that is fractured or weakened
- To protect a tooth following root canal treatment
- To cover and complete a dental implant
- To anchor and attach a dental bridge
- To enhance the beauty of your smile
- To improve a misshapen tooth
