A protective cap for your tooth: A dental crown is a protective covering or “cap” that covers the entire tooth. Dental crowns can make teeth stronger and replace any missing tooth structure.
Reasons your dentist may recommend a crown:
- When a back tooth is cracked
- When a tooth has large areas of decay or cavities
- When a front tooth has a large chip in it
- To protect a tooth after root canal treatment
