Over time, teeth begin to weaken and become more susceptible to problems such as decay, cracks or discoloration. Crowns can renew the appearance and function of a tooth. Crowns don’t only cover up the original tooth, they can be designed to create an even better aesthetic appearance.

Crowns can also:

  •  Protect a weak tooth from breaking hold together parts of a cracked tooth.
  •  Cover and support a tooth with a large filling that is on the verge of cracking when there isn’t a lot of tooth left.
  •  Cover severely discolored teeth.
  •  Restore a tooth that is already broken, or severely worn down.

Also, they are often used in conjunction with root canal therapy, dental implants or as an anchor for a bridge.

Dental crowns are usually made from porcelain in order to maintain strength and a natural appearance. Once treatment is complete, continue to practice proper at home care and keep regular office visits to help your crown last many years. Much like your original teeth, crowns require routine brushing and flossing.
