30/10/2013
A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens the tooth that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.
There are several types of crowns. They are highly durable and will last many years. Porcelain crowns are made to match the shape, size, and color or your teeth giving you a natural, long-lasting, beautiful smile.
Reasons for Crowns:
– Broken or fractured teeth
– Weakened teeth
– Cosmetic improvement
– Decayed teeth
– Fractured fillings
– Large fillings
– Tooth has a root canal treatment
– Tooth supporting a denture
