Sometimes a tooth becomes so damaged, a simple repair is out of the question. In these instances, a crown, often termed a cap, may be the treatment of choice. Any infected tooth structure must first be removed.
Depending on the specific case, a filling may need to be inserted to fill in any large missing tooth structure. The whole tooth is afterwards reduced to ensure enough room for the crown. This crown will be fabricated using precise measurements to assure a proper bite pattern. A crown can serve as both a restorative and cosmetic improvement to your teeth, unlike veneers which are solely for cosmetic improvements.
