Restorative Dentistry
Crowns
Custom-fitted restorations designed to protect and strengthen damaged or weakened teeth.
A crown is a dental restoration that covers or caps a tooth to restore it to its normal shape, size, and function.
What do crowns do?
A crown may strengthen or improve the appearance of a tooth. It may be used when there is not enough tooth remaining for a large filling, to protect a weak tooth, restore a fractured tooth, or cover a poorly shaped or discolored tooth.
Benefits
- Restores the structural integrity of a damaged tooth
- Custom-crafted to look and feel like a natural tooth
- Protects against further fracturing or decay
- Highly durable and designed for long-lasting use
What should I expect with crowns?
Getting a crown usually involves two steps. First, Dr. Todd will prepare the tooth, take an impression, and place a temporary crown to protect it. Once your custom permanent crown is ready, you will return to have it checked for fit and permanently cemented.
