Crown, Bridge & Denture If
you want a smile that's your c rowning
glory, you may need a crown to cover a tooth and restore it to its
normal shape and size. A crown canmake your tooth stronger and improve
its appearance. It
can cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't
enough tooth left. It can be used to attach a bridge, protect a weak tooth from breaking or restore one
that's already broken. A crown is a good way to cover teeth that
are discolored or badly shaped. It's also used to cover a dental
implant.
If
your dentist recommends a crown, it's probably to correct one of
these conditions. Your dentist's primary concern, like yours, is
helping you keep your teeth healthy and your smile bright -- literally,
your crowning glory.
