What Issues Can Crowns Correct?

Dental crowns, whether for function or aesthetics, are a versatile solution. Watch our video to see how crowns can enhance your smile.

Crowns are designed to rebuild a tooth when there’s a significant defect or damage. For example, if a large portion of a tooth is broken off, a filling alone may not be sufficient, as fillings require enough remaining tooth structure to hold them in place. In cases where there’s not enough tooth left, a crown is used to completely cover and protect the tooth.

Crowns are also used in cosmetic dentistry to enhance the appearance of a tooth. Since a crown covers the entire tooth, we can customize its shape, size, and color to achieve the desired look. We typically recommend crowns in cosmetic situations where the teeth are too damaged to be restored with veneers. Crowns provide both functional and aesthetic benefits, making them a versatile solution for various dental issues.
