A dental crown is style of restoration that encircles or caps an entire tooth or dental implant. A common reason for a crown is to protect the tooth from a large cavity that may endanger an entire tooth. A crown is also used to make the tooth stronger and to improve the appearance of a tooth. They are ultimately very beneficial for the overall health of the tooth involved. A crown is usually adhered to the tooth using what is known as dental cement. They are made from a variety of materials.
Usually we can do crowns in one visit at our office. Some crowns may require two visits.
