A crown, also known as a cap, covers a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size, thereby strengthening and improving its overall appearance.
A crown may be recommended to cover and support a tooth with a large filling. A crown can be used to attach a bridge, protect a weak tooth from breaking, or restore one that is already broken.
There are three main types of dental crowns. Each designed for different applications. Metal gold crowns are particularly suitable for posterior teeth exposed to heavy chewing forces.
Porcelain or ceramic crowns, offer excellent aesthetic results and closely match the appearance of natural teeth. They blend seamlessly in with your smile.
Finally, Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns combine the strength of metal with the cosmetic appeal of porcelain. This type of crown is often recommended for load-bearing teeth that are visible when you smile.

Who would ever say, “What a treat to go to the dentist”? I would! This office is filled with an awesome staff and very skilled dentists. My husband and I followed our hygienists from a prior practice, (yes, we like them that much) and are thrilled to find we like the new dentists just as much. My husband had a crown replaced with Dr. Chan and was very happy with the results. Dr Jo is very personable and thorough. Cari and Trish are the best and we are looking forward to getting to know the rest of the staff better. So happy to have landed at this practice and they happily take our insurance!! Win, win!
