If you want a smile that's your crowning glory, you may need a crown to cover
a tooth and restore it to its normal shape and size. A crown can make 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 Dr. Bob recommends a crown, it's probably to correct one of these
conditions. Dr. Bob's primary concern, like yours, is helping you keep your
teeth healthy and your smile bright.
