Dental Crowns

A dental crown is one way that dentists use to restore damaged or compromised teeth.

Crowns are designed to fit over a damaged or compromised tooth. They protect the tooth from further damage and improve its size and shape. You can expect the restoration to last for many years before it will need to be replaced.

Why are Dental Crowns needed? 

The most common reason is because a tooth has cracked, fractured or broken. You might need a crown if you've recently undergone a root canal, which can leave the tooth more prone to breaking. If a tooth has a large filling in it or a deep area of decay, we might recommend simply crowning it to protect and restore it.
