Porcelain Crowns

A crown (or cap) is a covering made to restore a tooth back to health & function. When teeth are damaged from decay, weak from large old fillings, worn or broken down, crowns can be used to give you back healthy functional teeth.

Crowns can be made out of porcelain, porcelain fused to metal, or full gold. An examination will determine which option will be the best for you.
