A crown is an artificial restoration that fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape of a natural tooth. A crown is sometimes known as a ‘cap’.
Crowns are an ideal restoration for teeth that have been broken, or have been weakened by decay or a very large filling. A crown could be used for a number of other reasons, for instance:
To improve the appearance of the tooth
To protect weak and damaged teeth
It may help hold a bridge or denture firmly in place.
Montreal dentist Dr Alyce Fischer will examine and evaluate your teeth at the Lasalle Dental Centre.
