What It Is
A crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and appearance. Modern crowns are crafted from high-quality ceramic that mimics the translucency of natural enamel.
Benefits
Crowns protect weakened teeth, restore function, and look completely natural. They're ideal for teeth with large fillings, root canal treatment, or significant damage.
Procedure
The tooth is prepared, an impression or digital scan is taken, and a temporary crown is placed. At the second visit, the permanent crown is bonded.
Recovery
Mild sensitivity for a few days is normal. No significant downtime.
