A dental crown (also known as a cap) is a dental restoration that replaces the outer surface of your tooth with ceramic material and/or gold.
Dental Crowns may be the ideal treatment option when previous fillings have broken, fractured or chipped surfaces are noted, or tooth sensitivity is involved, and the existing tooth structure is too damaged to support a filling, an inlay or an onlay. Dental Crowns are also used to improve the appearance of natural teeth that are malformed, malpositioned or discolored.
