Crowns cover the visible part of your tooth above the gumline, serving as a restoration that builds up its shape, size, and appearance. Shielding and supporting weak or damaged teeth is one reason to get a crown. Other possible uses may entail:
Covering a dental implant
Covering a misshaped tooth
Securely a bridge in place
Covering an extremely discolored tooth
Restoration after a root canal treatment
Supporting a tooth that has been mostly destroyed by a large filling
