Crowns (Caps)
A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth
surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown
protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be
restored with fillings or other types of restorations.
Although there are several types of crowns, porcelain (tooth
colored crown) are the most popular. They are highly durable
and will last many years, but like most dental restorations,
they will eventually need to be replaced. Porcelain crowns
are made to match the shape, size, and color or your teeth
giving you a natural, long-lasting beautiful smile.
