A Smile Speaks Volumes About Who You Are

A crown is an artificial restoration, fitting over the remaining part of the tooth to give strength and lend a natural appearance. Also called caps, crowns can be used in place of veneers, to straighten a crooked smile, repair broken teeth or conceal a bridge or implant.

For a crown, the tooth surface is normally prepared, then an impression is taken by your dentist.

There are many different types of crowns including metal – gold or silver (non-precious) - porcelain-bonded (metal substructure with porcelain bonded over), porcelain or ceramic. They are suitable for single or multiple teeth, are custom-made for each patient in a dental laboratory and can be used in conjunction with veneers to produce beautiful smile makeovers.
