What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a cap that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are used to protect weak teeth, restore broken teeth, cover severely discolored teeth, support teeth with large fillings, hold dental bridges, or cover dental implants. They are made from porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, or metal alloys.
