Crowns

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth -- to cover the tooth  to restore its shape and size, strength, and improve its appearance.
The crowns, when cemented into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth  that lies at and above the gum line.  A dental crown  may be needed in the following situations:
1.To protect a weak tooth (for instance, from decay) from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth
2.To restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down
3.To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't a lot of tooth left
4.To hold a dental bridge in place
5.To cover misshapened or severely discolored teeth
6.To cover a dental implant
7.To make a cosmetic modification
