What are dental crowns used for?

A dental crown is a restoration that is used to strengthen and protect damaged teeth. The crown is designed to completely encase your natural tooth, which is why it is often referred to as a cap.

At Tysons Dentistry, crowns are an essential part of the restorative treatments we use to return your tooth to its full function. Advances in dental materials now allow us to create crowns that not only protect your oral health, but actually enhance the appearance of your smile.

Dental crowns have a number of uses:

• Restore a broken or cracked tooth
• Protect a tooth after root canal treatment
• Support a dental bridge
• Strengthen a tooth compromised by decay or disease
• Alter the shape of an irregular tooth
• Cover a severely stained or discolored tooth
