Damaged or broken teeth not only affect how you feel about your smile, but they can also lead to serious dental consequences like an infection, alignment issues and even tooth loss. Thankfully, one of the most popular ways to fix a damaged or broken tooth these days is a dental crown, also known as a cap. This restoration is custom made to fit over your entire tooth to restore its original size and protect it from further damage. Crowns are made from a variety of materials, including gold, metal and porcelain.

With a visit to Durango Laser Dentistry, our dentist will place a custom dental crown to restore your tooth to good health without compromising the aesthetics of your smile.

When Is a Dental Crown Necessary?

You may need a dental crown to:

  • Strengthen a worn-down tooth
  • Enhance the appearance of your smile
  • Cover a dental implant
  • Anchor a dental bridge
  • Treat a discolored tooth
  • Protect a tooth after a root canal
  • Repair a large cavity
  • Fix sections of a cracked tooth

Dental crowns have many advantages aside from restoring the function and beauty of your teeth, such as:

  • Being resistant to stains
  • Blending seamlessly with other teeth
  • Helping you feel more confident

  • Staying in place to avoid shifting
