What Are Dental Crowns Used For?

Dental crowns can be used to repair a number of dental concerns. A dental crown is a “cap” that is tooth-shaped, which is cemented into place over a tooth. The crown covers the entire tooth restoring the shape of the tooth, the size of the tooth, the appearance of the tooth or the strength of the tooth.

Crowns can be used to:

• protect your weak tooth. When a tooth is weakened, breaking or further cracking and deterioration can occur
  
• refurbish a tooth that is broken or worn down
• assist a tooth that has a considerable filling
• secure a dental bridge in place
• cover up teeth that are misshaped
• Mask extremely discolored teeth

Dental Crowns usually require at least two visits to your cosmetic dentists office. The initial visit involves the dentist probing and preparing the tooth and the second visit typically involves the placement of the permanent crown. with so many ways a crown can improve a persons teeth, it is no wonder it is one of the most common cosmetic dental procedures performed.
