Dental Crown

A dental crown may be necessary to cover a tooth for a variety of reasons, such as large cavities, extensive fillings, cracks, or root canal treatment. In addition to strengthening the tooth, a crown can also enhance its appearance, shape, and alignment.

All-porcelain crowns and bridges are typically used for front teeth where esthetics are particularly important.
