When a tooth is cracked, worn, or heavily filled, a crown can restore it. A large filling, a crack, or deep decay can leave a tooth too weak to work well. A crown is a custom cap that covers the whole visible part of the tooth. First, the tooth is gently reshaped to make room for the cap. Next, a digital scan captures the exact shape of the prepared tooth. A crown is then crafted to match the size, shape, and color of your teeth. Finally, the crown is bonded firmly over the tooth. The result is a strong tooth that looks and works like a natural one. This video is for general education only. It is not medical or dental advice. Ask your dentist what's right for you.
