What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are custom-designed caps that cover the entire visible portion of a damaged or weakened tooth. Made from materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal, crowns are durable and designed to match the look and feel of natural teeth. They serve both restorative and cosmetic purposes, helping to protect your tooth and improve its appearance.

At Clove DDS, we use advanced techniques to ensure your dental crown fits perfectly and provides lasting results. Crowns are commonly used alongside other treatments, such as root canals or dental implants, to complete a restoration.

Signs You Might Need a Dental Crown

Wondering if a dental crown is right for you? Here are some common signs that you may benefit from this treatment:
  • Cracked or Broken Teeth:Crowns provide strength and stability to teeth that are cracked or fractured.
  • Extensive Decay: For teeth with large cavities that cannot be addressed with fillings alone, crowns offer a durable solution.
  • Cosmetic Concerns: If you have misshapen, discolored, or uneven teeth, a crown can improve their appearance.
  • Post-Root Canal Treatment: Crowns protect teeth that have undergone root canal therapy, preventing further damage.
  • Dental Implants: Crowns are used as the visible component of a dental implant to complete the restoration process.
  • Worn Teeth: Teeth that are worn down due to grinding or other factors can benefit from the added protection and restoration provided by a crown.
