Our dentist might recommend a crown if you have:
• A tooth with a large filling
• A badly damaged or decayed tooth
• A tooth that has had root canal therapy
• A misshapen or discolored tooth
• A missing tooth that is being replaced with a dental implant or a bridge
The crown will be bonded to the prepared tooth and will add an extra layer of strength and protection. Porcelain is a strong material that can be made in virtually any shade to match the color of your tooth exactly. It is customized to fit the tooth comfortably. The porcelain crown adds strength to the weakened tooth and can protect it from additional damage.
