Reasons to consider a dental crown are to protect after a root canal, provide an anchor for a dental bridge, complete an implant, enhance the beauty of your smile, correct slightly crooked or misshaped teeth, strengthen weakened or fractured teeth and support teeth with large fillings where there is minimal tooth structure to support it.

It is a misconception that dental crowns are not your natural teeth. When your tooth is damaged, the damaged area is removed, and the rest of the tooth is shaped to allow a crown or a cap to fit over the top to protect that tooth. The crown will match your natural teeth, so no one else will ever know the difference!
