A dental crown is a custom made, ceramic or metal, cover used to strengthen weak teeth, occasionally following root canal, or replace missing teeth as part of treatment with implant’s.
Teeth that have very large fillings can be weak and prone to repeated fracture and breaks. This can lead to repeated filling and even loss of the tooth. Dental crowns act as a cover for a weak tooth, effectively holding the remaining tooth and filling together, saving time and money in the long term avoiding the need for repeated treatment and giving confidence in an otherwise weak tooth.
