What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits snugly over a tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. It is often recommended for teeth that are:

• Cracked
• Worn down
• Decayed
• Weakened after a root canal

It acts like a protective helmet, covering the visible part of the tooth above the gum line.

Crowns can be made from:

• Porcelain
• Ceramic
• Metal
• Resin

With proper care, a crown restores natural function and aesthetics so you can chew, speak, and smile with confidence.

• Protect a weak or cracked tooth
