A crown is generally recommended as a protective restoration when the tooth does not have enough healthy structure to support itself. Such a tooth can then crack under chewing forces leading to more extensive treatment or even loss of tooth. A crown helps restore a tooth to its natural shape and size. A crown can make your tooth stronger and improve its appearance.
Crowns are also used to attach bridges, restore a broken tooth and to restore a missing space by covering a dental implant.
Crowns can be made from several types of materials. We want your crown to look natural and fit comfortably in your mouth.
To decide which material to use for your crown, we consider many factors, such as:
- The tooth’s location and function
- The way your teeth come together
- The types of forces that the crown will need to withstand
- The position of the gum tissue
- The amount of tooth that shows when you smile
- The color or shade of the tooth
