A dental crown, also referred to as a ‘cap,’ is a dental restoration that fully covers damaged teeth. Where the damage to a person’s teeth is extreme and seemingly beyond repair, EagleRidge Dental Center can use Dental Crowns to help patients’ smiles appear natural once again. Acting as a ‘helmet’ that goes over or ‘caps’ an existing tooth, dental crowns restore strength, size and shape, and improve the overall look. Crowns are a reliable technique for repairing even the most severe dental problems caused through accidents, disease, or wear and tear, even permanently replacing missing teeth to offer a complete smile and a functional smile.
