Crown
A crown is a custom-made cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and function. It is used when a tooth cannot be repaired with a regular filling, often after a root canal or large decay. Crown also improves the appearance of teeth and protects them from further damage. It looks and feels like natural teeth, allowing you to smile and chew confidently.
Who Need This Treatment
Patients with severely damaged, decayed, or broken teeth that cannot be restored with a regular filling
Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment and need protection
Teeth with large fillings that are weakening the natural tooth structure
Patients who want to improve the shape, alignment, or color of a tooth for aesthetic purposes
Those needing to support a dental bridge or cover a dental implant
