Crowns

crowns

A crown covers a tooth and restores it to its normal shape and size. A crown can make your tooth stronger and improve its appearance. It can cover and support a tooth that has a large filling. It can be used to attach a bridge, prevent a weak or brittle tooth from breaking, or restore one that's already broken. A crown is a good way to cover teeth that are discolored, badly shaped, or out of position. Crowns are also used to cover dental implants.

A crown may be made of gold or porcelain. It is made to fit the tooth precisely. It looks somewhat like a thimble and is cemented onto the prepared tooth.

If Dr. Urback or Dr. Hall recommends a crown, it's probably to correct one of these conditions. Dr. Urback and Dr. Hall's primary aim, like yours, is to help you keep your teeth healthy and your smile bright.
