Crowns, also known as caps, cover the tooth above the gum line. Their main function is to repair a broken tooth and enhance its strength. They are among the most popular corrective dental treatments.

Placed for aesthetic purposes, crowns look natural and as much a part of your mouth as your existing teeth. They not only boost the appearance of your smile, but provide the support your teeth need.

We may recommend a crown for the following reasons:

• To fix broken or fractured teeth
• To repair fractured fillings
• To restore decayed teeth
• For cosmetic enhancement

If you are having a root canal, we often recommend that a crown be placed afterwards. Although there are several types of crowns, porcelain are the most popular as they closely resemble your natural teeth.
