A crown, sometimes called a "cap", is a tooth like covering
placed over a carefully prepared existing tooth.
Used to strengthen, restore or improve the appearance of
your natural tooth, a crown is placed on an individual tooth
much like a thimble over your finger.
Crowns serve many functions in addition to being used to
strengthen a tooth to accommodate the attachment of a fixed
bridge.
One of the most common is to support the tooth when there is
no longer sufficient tooth structure left to place a filling.
Crowns may also be used to protect the structure of a tooth
that is fractured or broken.
