Crowns are tooth-shaped caps designed to look and function just like natural teeth. They are cemented over damaged teeth or connected to implants to improve a patient’s health and enhance their smile’s appearance. Crowns are often made from tooth-colored porcelain or ceramic. These materials give crowns the natural tooth shine—most people won’t even be able to tell that they’re not real.
The Purpose of Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are often the go-to restoration for a variety of dental purposes. They are an extremely versatile, long-lasting restorative treatment that yields great results.
Crowns for Tooth Replacement
Did you know that crowns can also be used to replace missing teeth? Crowns can attach to dental implants at the gumline to fill in any gaps in your smile. Implants are small posts that we embed into the jawbone. They mimic a natural tooth root and fuse with the bone over time. In turn, this creates a solid, reliable foundation for tooth restorations, such as dental crowns, to connect to.
