Dental Crowns in Anchorage, AK
What is a Dental Crown?
A crown is a tooth-colored cap that is custom-made to fit over a tooth. It will cover the tooth all the way to the gum line, providing a protective barrier around the tooth to prevent further damage while also increasing strength and durability and improving the tooth’s overall appearance. While crowns are considered restorative, they also offer cosmetic benefits, too.
Why Might I Need a Dental Crown?
There are many situations in which a dental crown will be the best choice for your smile. A crown can be used to,
- Cover and restore a chipped or cracked tooth
- Strengthen a severely worn or weak tooth
- Replace a dental filling that is large and unable to fully support the tooth
- Hold a dental bridge in place
- Prevent a tooth from further damage or cracking
- Improve the overall shape, color, and size of a tooth (and hide imperfections)
- To cover a dental implant (to replace a missing tooth)
