Crowns are used to restore and enhance teeth that are damaged, or to replace missing teeth. A crown, also called a cap, is used to entirely cover a damaged tooth. A crown not only strengthens the tooth, but it can also dramatically improve the tooth's appearance, shape and alignment.
Crowns may be used to…
Replace a large filling when there is little tooth structure remaining
Protect a weak tooth from fracturing
Restore a fractured tooth
Attach a bridge
Cover a dental implant
Cover a discolored or poorly-shaped tooth
Cover a tooth that has had root canal treatment
Your visit begins with an evaluation of your oral health, concerns and treatment goals. The Carlisle Family Dentistry team can explain whether crowns is appropriate for you and review your options.
That depends on your oral health and individual needs. An examination at our Carlisle office is the best way to determine whether crowns should be part of your treatment plan.
