A crown is a restoration that covers,or caps, a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size.
Its purpose is to strengthen or improve the appearance of a tooth.
A crown is placed for a number of reasons:
To support a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth remaining,to attach a bridge,to protect weak teeth from fracturing,to restore fractured teeth and to cover a dental implant.
