Dental crowns are like a suit of armor for your teeth. It may sound silly, but that’s exactly what dental crowns do: they serve as a protective shell for a weakened tooth that needs a little extra support to prevent more damage. They can also help to repair and protect teeth that have already broken or worn down by creating a “new tooth” to cover it.
Crowns are also a great option for those who want to improve the visual aspects of their smile as well as the health and strength of their teeth. When cemented to an existing tooth that may be misshapen, worn down, or otherwise flawed, a dental crown can give the appearance of a healthy, white, bright tooth to complete your smile.
