Dental crown

A crown covers and protects a weakened tooth — often after root canal treatment — to restore its strength and appearance.

Why a crown?

After root canal treatment, or when a tooth is badly damaged, the remaining enamel can be fragile. A custom-made crown protects the tooth from fracturing and restores normal chewing.
