Dental Crowns to Protect Your Teeth

A crown, often referred to as a dental cap, is a dental restoration that slides over a tooth and covers it. It may be needed when a huge cavity is threating the health of a tooth or when a tooth becomes cracked. Crowns are helpful because they improve the strength and appearance of teeth and halt deterioration

The staff at Vasilios "Bill" J. Pavlakos, DDS, PC General & Cosmetic Dentistry performs skilled dental crown treatments. Trust us to help you when you're in need.

The reasons you may need a dental crown include:

• Protecting a cracked tooth or a weakened tooth from breaking due to a wide area of decay
• Restoring a broken tooth or a severely worn down tooth
• Covering and supporting a tooth with a large existing filling with not much natural tooth remaining
• Holding a dental bridge in place
• Covering misshapen or severely discolored teeth
• Covering a dental implant
• Covering a posterior tooth that’s been treated with a root canal. Teeth become brittle when nerve and blood supply are taken out with root canal therapy and need to be protected by a crown
