Crowns/Bridges


A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over a tooth to cover the tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and improve its appearance. The crown once placed, fully encases the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line.

Why is a crown needed?

  • Restores a broken or damaged tooth
  • Cover a tooth that has had root canal treatment
  • Support a tooth with large fillings when there is not much natural tooth remaining
  • Cover misshapen or discolored teeth
  • Cover dental implants
  • Cosmetic changes
