Dental crowns are a vital restorative option for patients with weakened, damaged, or severely decayed teeth. Crowns act as a protective cap that covers the entire tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and function. They are necessary when a tooth is too compromised for a filling as they provide structural support and prevent further damage. In addition, crowns are used after treatment such as root canal therapy for protection of the root canal as well as to restore function. Crowns also enhance the appearance of your smile by blending seamlessly with your natural teeth. By opting for a crown, you not only preserve your tooth but also ensure long-lasting dental health and confidence in your smile.
