The Strength of a Dental Crown
A crown gives a weakened tooth a second chance. When a tooth has a large filling, a significant crack or damage from decay or a root canal, it can break under normal chewing pressure. A crown covers the whole tooth, holding it together and absorbing biting forces, so it doesn’t fracture further and you can chew comfortably again.
Natural-Looking Crowns
Modern crowns are designed to blend with your smile. Crowns made from high-quality porcelain or zirconia are custom-crafted to match the color, shade and translucency of your natural teeth, and we shape each one to the right size and form so it looks and feels like it has always been there.
Comfort Restored
A damaged or decayed tooth often causes pain or sharp sensitivity to hot and cold. By covering the tooth, a crown seals off exposed and damaged areas, relieving the discomfort so you can eat and drink without wincing.
A Versatile Treatment
Crowns solve many problems. They restore teeth that are cracked, badly decayed or broken; protect a tooth after a root canal; cover a discolored or misshapen tooth; and form the visible tooth on a dental implant. They also anchor a dental bridge.
