A dental crown is a customized tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth - covering the tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, and/or to improve its appearance.
The crown can :
(i) protect a weak tooth from breaking;
(ii) restore tooth that has been severely worn down;
(iii) Cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't a lot of tooth left;
(iv) Cover misshapened or severely discolored teeth. Preparing a tooth for a crown usually requires two visits to the dentist -- the first step involves examining and preparing the tooth and the second visit involves placement of the permanent crown.
