What is a Crown?
A dental crown is a type of restoration that can be used for a variety of aesthetic and restorative purposes. The crown, which is sometimes referred to as a cap, is designed to entirely fit over the tooth. This restores the tooth to optimal shape, structure, and size. Crowns can be created from a number of materials, including porcelain, gold, and porcelain fused to metal; many patients choose all-porcelain crowns for their natural-looking effect. No matter which type of crown you need, Dr. Michael Sanchez will make certain that the restoration fits your smile comfortably and effectively.
Do I Need a Crown?
Crowns are very versatile and can be used for a number of treatments. Our dentist may recommend a custom-made crown to:
• Protect a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment
• Strengthen a fractured or otherwise weakened tooth
• Cover and complete a dental implant
• Anchor a dental bridge
• Enhance the appearance of a severely darkened or stained tooth
• Support a large dental filling when little tooth structure remains
• Improve the aesthetics and function of a misshapen tooth
