A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cover or cap that provides protection and strength to a damaged tooth while giving it an attractive, natural-looking appearance. Once installed and cemented, a crown will appear and function like your natural tooth.

A crown, when cemented into place, fully encases the visible portion of a tooth.

A dental crown may be recommended in the following situations:

To protect a weak tooth from breaking

• To hold together a cracked tooth
• To restore a tooth that has been worn down
• To support a tooth with a large filling
• To hold a dental bridge in place
• To cover misshapen or discolored teeth
• To cover a dental implant
