A dental crown, often referred to as a “cap,” is a custom-made covering that completely encloses a damaged or weakened tooth. Dental crowns are designed to not only improve the appearance of a tooth but also strengthen and protect it. If you have had a root canal in the past, a crown can help preserve that tooth structure. A crown can also add additional protection to teeth with large fillings or those at risk of cracking. Dental crowns are an excellent solution for improving both the look and durability of teeth that are cracked, decayed, or severely worn.
When it comes to materials, Neighbourhood Dental offers a range of options to best suit your own personal needs. Porcelain and ceramic crowns are often chosen for their natural, tooth-like appearance, blending seamlessly with your smile. For areas that require extra strength, such as back teeth, metal crowns like gold or silver are incredibly durable and long lasting. We also offer porcelain fused to metal crowns for a balance of strength and aesthetics.
Beyond restoring function, dental crowns can also enhance the appearance of your smile. Whether you are addressing structural issues or cosmetic concerns, dental crowns can help you achieve a more pleasing look. At Neighbourhood Dental, we are here to help you achieve the smile that you have always wanted with dental crowns!
