Dental crowns protect your teeth when dental fillings are inadequate to restore the damage caused by decay, cracking, or other dental trauma. A crown is also recommended for other dental issues, including:

• Protection for your weak or severely damaged teeth.
• Support for your teeth that contain extensive dental fillings.
• Rebuilding your tooth structure following a root canal.
• Improving your bite.

Natural-looking dental restorations
Your crown can be crafted from a variety of materials, including porcelain to match your natural tooth color. The treatment will blend seamlessly with your teeth to enhance your appearance.

You might prefer a crown crafted from full metal or porcelain fused-to-metal. Metal crowns or those containing safe metals are known to be durable and long-lasting.

Take care of your dental crown as you would your natural teeth.

• Brush and floss to preserve the health of your gums and adjoining teeth.
• Be aware of sensitivity issues if your crowns are metal.
• Contact our dental office if your crown is loose or becomes detached.
