A damaged or weakened tooth doesn’t always need to be removed. A dental crown is designed to strengthen and protect a tooth while restoring its shape, function and natural appearance. Custom-made to fit over the existing tooth, a crown provides added support while helping you bite and chew comfortably. It can also improve the appearance of teeth that have been heavily restored, worn or fractured. Every crown is individually crafted to fit comfortably, blend naturally with your surrounding teeth and provide a durable restoration tailored to your smile.
