When you have a cracked, broken, or heavily restored tooth, you may hesitant to bite down hard because you’ve heard that it can easily further fracture.
A crown (sometimes referred to as a cap) is a full coverage restoration that restores the anatomical surfaces of a damaged or fractured tooth. Typically, this type of treatment is recommended over a filling when there is very little tooth structure left to a tooth. Because it is made of precious metal alloy and/or strong porcelain it acts like a “tooth helmet” to protect the tooth from future cracks and breaks. When fitting you with a crown, we will take care to ensure that the tooth will feel natural so that you can chew confidently. We ensure that we will use a quality lab and materials so that the crown and your tooth it is protecting, will last for many years.
