Dental crowns, also known as caps, are custom-made restorations that cover the entire visible portion of a tooth. They are designed to restore the shape, size, strength, and appearance of a damaged or weakened tooth.

Here’s why crowns are a preferred choice at Linden Oaks Dental:

• Protection and Stability: Crowns provide protection to a tooth that is heavily decayed, cracked, or weakened.
• Natural Appearance: Made from durable materials like porcelain or ceramic, crowns mimic the natural look and feel of your teeth.
• Versatility: Crowns can be used to cover a tooth after a root canal treatment, restore a fractured tooth, or anchor a dental bridge.

Why Choose Crowns?

Crowns offer several benefits for patients seeking dental restoration:

• Long-term Solution: Enjoy a durable and long-lasting solution to strengthen and protect your teeth.
• Cosmetic Enhancement: Improve the appearance of discolored, misshapen, or damaged teeth for a more uniform smile.
• Functional Improvement: Restore the functionality of your teeth for chewing and speaking comfortably.

When are Crowns Appropriate?

Consider dental crowns for:

• Decayed or Damaged Teeth: To restore teeth that are severely decayed, cracked, or fractured.
• Cosmetic Improvement: To enhance the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth.
• Restorative Dentistry: As part of a comprehensive treatment plan to improve oral health.
