Crowns are a restoration used to improve your tooth's strength, function, shape, and appearance. Crowns are most often used for teeth that are broken, worn, or have portions destroyed by tooth decay.

Crowns are "caps" cemented onto an existing tooth which fully cover the portion of your tooth above the gum line. In effect, the crown becomes your tooth's new outer surface. Crowns can be made of porcelain, metal, or both. Depending on the location of your tooth, we can recommend the best options based on the goals you have for your health and appearance of your smile.

Your crown is created in a lab from your unique tooth impression which allows a dental laboratory technician to examine all aspects of your bite and jaw movements. Your crown is then sculpted just for you so that your bite and jaw movements function normally once the crown is placed.

Crowns are one of the most common dental restorations and can improve the function and appearance of a tooth as well as prolong its useful life.
