When your tooth has extensive decay, fractures, cracks, or large fillings, a crown might be your best restorative option. A crown (also known as a cap) is permanently placed over a tooth to restore its function, shape, strength, and improve its appearance. Dental crowns are used to repair or preserve a tooth from breaking, or restore one that’s already broken.
There are several materials to select from. While we like the long term wear and biocompatibility of gold, we love the strength and realistic esthetics of tooth-colored zirconia. We are happy to guide you through the options.
