A dental crown is an ideal way to restore a tooth that has been fractured, has a large filling, or has suffered significant damage due to extensive decay. A crown is a dental restoration that covers the entire visible surface of the tooth, also known as the tooth prep or abutment. This provides protection and reinforces the tooth’s structure while ensuring a perfect aesthetic appearance. The finished crown is permanently fixed to the prepared tooth with dental cement, making it a non-removable, fixed solution.
