What is a Crown

What is a Crown?

A crown is a type of restoration used to restore and strengthen badly broken down or heavily filled teeth. White crowns are also used to achieve dramatic improvements in appearance of the tooth and mouth.

If a tooth is heavily filled or has a crack in it the whole tooth is at risk. It may split and extraction would then be the only option. Even with the most modern dental materials a filling may not be sufficiently durable in which case, a crown is the solution of choice.
