What Is a Dental Crown?
Essentially, a dental crown is a “cap” that is designed to protect a weakened tooth. While they were once primarily crafted from metals, like gold, they are now made from lifelike and durable materials, like porcelain. As a result, our Jacksonville dentist can address the following oral health concerns without drawing negative attention to your smile:
- A severely decayed tooth
- A cracked, fractured, or broken tooth
- A weakened tooth following root canal therapy
- A missing tooth that is being replaced with a dental implant
- A missing tooth that is being replaced with a dental bridge
- A tooth that is oddly shaped or discolored
