Dental crowns are versatile dental restorations designed to fit snugly over damaged or compromised teeth. Whether a tooth has fractured, broken, or undergone a recent root canal, a dental crown can be the solution you need. These crowns serve a dual purpose: they safeguard the tooth from further harm and enhance its size and shape. With proper care, you can expect your crown to serve you faithfully for many years before requiring replacement.

 Several scenarios may necessitate the placement of a dental crown:

• Tooth Damage: Tooth damage is the most common reason for a dental crown. If a tooth has cracked, fractured, or broken, a crown can provide the necessary reinforcement to restore its strength and function.
• Root Canal Treatment: A tooth becomes more vulnerable to breakage following a root canal procedure. A crown can protect and fortify the tooth, ensuring it can withstand daily use.
• Large Fillings or Deep Decay: Teeth with substantial fillings or deep areas of decay may require crowning to reinforce and restore their structure.
