A full coverage crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that fits entirely over your existing tooth. It protects the remaining tooth structure, restores the tooth's ability to function normally, and improves its appearance. Often, the materials used mimic that of a natural tooth, allowing for it to fit in seamlessly with a patient’s smile.

​

Dental crowns are versatile solutions for several issues:

 

• Large cavities: When a filling isn't enough to support the tooth, a crown may be the right option to restore strength.

• Cracked or broken teeth: Crowns hold a damaged tooth together, preventing further breakage.

• Root canals: Teeth that have had root canals often become brittle. A crown adds protection and lowers the risk of fracture or infection that could lead to extraction.
