Dental crowns are custom-made restorations that fit over a damaged or weakened tooth, reinforcing its structure and enhancing its appearance. Whether your tooth has been compromised by decay, injury, or a large filling that has weakened over time, a crown helps preserve its functionality and integrity. Crowns are designed to look and feel like your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless fit in both comfort and appearance.
