A dental crown, or cap, is a restoration that can be used for a number of purposes. One of the most common uses of a dental crown is to restore a tooth that is significantly damaged or decayed. The crown is custom-made to fit over the entire tooth, starting at the gum line, in order to restore the tooth to its original shape and size. We use tooth-colored crowns that match the natural color and appearance of your child’s teeth.

Your child’s smile may benefit from a crown if a tooth is damaged or decayed to the point that a dental filling will not provide a successful restoration. Crowns can also be used for a number of other restorative and aesthetic purposes, including:

To protect a tooth following root canal treatment
To enhance the beauty of his or her smile
To improve a misshapen tooth
To strengthen a tooth that is fractured or weak
To support a large filling when little natural tooth structure remains
