A dental crown is a custom restoration that covers and protects a tooth above the gumline. It is designed to improve the shape, size and strength of a tooth while blending in with the rest of your smile. When a tooth is no longer strong enough on its own, a crown can help support normal daily function and reduce the risk of further damage. Our dentists will examine your tooth, explain what is causing the problem and help you understand whether a crown is the right solution for your smile.
