Dental Crowns & Tooth Caps

Dental Crowns

A crown is an aesthetic covering or a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over another tooth or implant to provide it stability. Crowns are generally used to improve the strength or appearance of teeth. When a large cavity threatens the ongoing health of a tooth, a crown is a good option. Crowns are also used to restore the shape and size of chipped or damaged teeth. They are typically bonded to the tooth using dental cement.

When is a dental crown required?

You might need a crown for any of the following circumstances:

  • To cover discolored or misshapen teeth
  • To support a tooth with a large filling
  • To cover a dental implant
  • To support a worn out, cracked or broken tooth
