When a tooth becomes damaged or weakened due to dental trauma, decay, or root canal therapy, a dental crown is often recommended. Dental crowns serve a dual purpose; they strengthen the tooth, but also create a barrier to protect the tooth from infection.
There are several varieties of dental crowns. These include:
By far the most popular dental crown options are porcelain and metal-fused porcelain crowns. Not only are these cost-effective, but do an excellent job of restoring the function and appearance of the tooth.
