A crown is a custom-fitted cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and appearance. Whether a tooth is cracked, heavily filled, or has just come through a root canal, a crown protects it from further damage while looking and functioning like a natural tooth.
Crowns protect a weak or decayed tooth from breaking, restore a tooth that’s already fractured or badly worn, cover a tooth with a filling too large to support on its own, anchor a dental bridge, or cap a dental implant. They’re also used cosmetically to reshape a misshapen or heavily discolored tooth.
For younger patients, a stainless steel crown can save a primary tooth that’s too decayed to support a standard filling, hold space for the permanent tooth underneath, or protect the teeth of a child at higher risk for decay.
