Crowns
You may need a crown if:
  • Your tooth is fractured
  • An old crown or filling has failed
  • You've had root canal therapy
  • You have a very large cavity
  • You'd like to improve a tooth's appearance
Crowns restore and protect teeth
A crown is a custom-made restoration that completely covers your tooth. Crowns not only repair and strengthen a damaged tooth, they can also be used to improve your appearance by covering a discolored or misshapen tooth.
The procedure
Crowns require at least two visits. We'll prepare and shape your tooth, then take impressions. A dental lab will make a model from these impressions, and use the model to create your new crown from porcelain, gold or other alloys, or a combination of these materials.
