What is a crown?
For weak, cracked or root-canalled teeth, the dentist may suggest a crown. A dental crown is a cover that fits over the tooth’s surface, beginning at the gum line. The crown acts to restore a tooth’s appearance, size, or shape. Crowns are also needed to cover dental implants, repair discolored teeth, or secure a dental bridge. Patients can expect crowns to last between 6 and 16 years if they have regular dental checkups and follow proper oral hygiene habits. In most cases, the process for creating and placing a dental crown requires just two visits to our comfortable office.
Do I need a crown?
