A dental crown is a custom restoration that covers and protects a tooth. Crowns are often recommended when a tooth has a large filling, a crack, extensive wear, or has been treated with root canal therapy.
Your dentist will assess the tooth, prepare it for a precise fit, and design a crown that supports both function and appearance. The goal is to strengthen the tooth while keeping your bite comfortable and natural.
When a Crown May Help
Crowns can restore chewing strength, protect vulnerable tooth structure, and improve the look of teeth that are damaged or misshapen.
