Dental crowns are designed to completely cover individual teeth, restoring their shape, strength, function, and appearance. These restorations are highly versatile, and Dr. Mrozek may recommend a crown in a number of situations to make sure that there are no additional problems with the tooth, including the following:
- When a tooth is too decayed to be treated successfully with a filling or bonding
- When a tooth is injured
- When a tooth is weakened to the point that fracturing is a likely possibility
- When a tooth has been treated with root canal therapy and needs extra protection
- When a tooth has noticeable cosmetic imperfections and needs correction
