A crown or "cap" is a permanent covering that is used to restore a tooth that was decayed, damaged, cracked or had root canal treatment. Crowns are also placed to strengthen teeth and can be used to restore the appearance of teeth. Crowns can be made of a variety of different materials such as porcelain, metals such as gold or a combination of these materials. All-porcelain crowns are metal-free and generally provide the highest cosmetic appearance. Your dentist will discuss which type of crown is most suitable for your tooth.
