Crowns, also known as dental caps, are protective coverings that are placed over damaged or weakened teeth. They are custom-made to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits. Crowns are used to restore teeth that have extensive decay, fractures, large fillings, or cosmetic imperfections. By completely encasing the tooth, crowns offer strength, durability, and protection, allowing you to bite and chew comfortably. Additionally, they can enhance the appearance of your smile by improving the shape, alignment, and color of the treated tooth. With proper care, crowns can last for many years, providing a long-term solution to preserve the health and beauty of your teeth.
