A crown or cap is a restoration that covers the part of the
tooth that is visibly present in the mouth. The root, which
is the part of the tooth anchoring the tooth in the bone, remains
as it is. A crown is constructed to completely surround the
tooth with the edges fitting snugly around the gumline. A crown
strengthens the tooth and protects it from further breakdown
or fracture.
Advantages Of Crowns
• Restores and corrects the shape, contour, and function of teeth
• Provides strength to a compromised tooth so it can withstand the stress of chewing
• Corrects the way the teeth fit together in normal chewing function
• Restores the appearance to a white, natural looking tooth
• Corrects poor spacing and makes crooked teeth look more even
