Dental crowns address a variety of dental concerns. If you have a large cavity that a filling cannot fix, a crown can provide the necessary strength and coverage. Similarly, cracked or fractured teeth are prime candidates for crowns to prevent further damage and potential tooth loss. Crowns can also be used for cosmetic purposes, restoring the aesthetics of discolored or misshapen teeth.
