One of the main methods
of dental restoration uses dental
crowns. Crowns are tooth-shaped caps placed over teeth, often after a
procedure that filed down the original teeth to a shape that can receive the
crown.
There are several
reasons why your dentist would recommend having a crown placed. The usual
reason is to give a weakened tooth, usually through tooth decay, some degree of
protection from further damage. With a crown, a tooth can once again be used to
chew on food without worry of it cracking. Another reason for a crown to be
placed is to restore a damaged or cracked tooth; this ensures that you look
like a have a perfect set of teeth again.
