Dental crowns are the caps that fully encase the portion of your teeth that is visible above the gum line. These restorations can be used to perform many functions for a variety of tooth irregularities. Our team has provided a list below of the multiple ways a dental crown can provide important functions for your smile:
– Protecting weakened teeth from becoming decayed, cracked, or broken
– Holding the broken parts of a tooth together
– Supporting teeth that have received large fillings and don’t not much remaining tooth structure
– Providing an anchor for dental bridges to hold them in place
– Covering teeth whose size, shape, color, or curvature differs from the surrounding teeth
– Covering dental implants to complete the restoration
– Providing treatment when there is too much damage in the tooth or jawline for other dental treatments
– Providing aesthetic benefits to a misshaped or cosmetically flawed tooth
– Covering teeth that received root canal treatment
– Protecting high-risk teeth from tooth decay
