Why do I need a crown?

• Severe decay
• Protecting a cracked tooth from breaking
• Restoring a broken tooth
• Restoring a severely worn down tooth

The Problem:

• Severely decayed teeth, if left untreated, could result in extreme pain requiring root canal treatment
• Cracked teeth can break and may necessitate a tooth being pulled
• Broken and severely worn teeth continuously get worse over time leading to irreparable tooth damage

What is a crown?

• A crown, sometimes called a "cap", is a type of dental restoration that completely encapsulates or encircles a tooth or dental implant and is typically bonded to the tooth with dental cement.
