Crowns
Over time a tooth can lose its strength, its structure, or its natural appearance. In our practice, although we usually restore a tooth using the most conservative means possible, such as a bonded composite resin filling, we sometimes need to completely rebuild a tooth. This is when a crown is typically used. A crown is a type of high strength cover over a tooth, usually intended to extend the life of a tooth that is significantly compromised, but sometimes it is used solely for achieving esthetic changes.
