What are Crowns?
Crowns are a type of dental restoration that when cemented into place, fully cover the portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line. A crown or cap protects the underlying tooth. You may need a crown because of:
- Extensive tooth decay
- Large metal or tooth-colored fillings that weaken the remaining tooth
- Broken or cracked teeth
- A tooth that has had root canal therapy
- A misaligned or misshaped tooth
- Teeth that have large fillings that are breaking down and cannot be refilled
Sometimes a crown is not the optimum solution and other dental procedures such as porcelain veneers or implants are a better choice.
If you think you may need a crown, Dr. Sushko will examine your teeth fully and explain all of your options to you so that you can make a fully informed choice.
