What is a dental crown?
A crown is a type of dental restoration. Dental crowns have many uses, but the main reason for utilizing a dental crown is to restore the original shape, size, and appearance of a damaged tooth. Crowns can also be used for cosmetic enhancement. A crown is a custom-made cap that is designed to fit snugly over the tooth. By completely covering the tooth, the dental crown restores the tooth to its optimal function, beauty, and health.
