If your tooth has become broken, badly decayed or damaged in such a way that a filling is not strong enough to support the tooth, then a crown may be recommended by your dentist as the most suitable treatment option for you.
A crown (also known as a 'cap') is a protective cover fitted over the existing structure of a broken or damaged tooth to restore function and appearance. With advances in modern dental technology, all-ceramic crowns are proven to be as strong and durable as metal porcelain crowns and so they are able to offer patients the best of both worlds - a long lasting and natural looking solution.
In placing a dental crown that colour matches the other teeth, it is hard to see which one has been treated.
