Crowns

What is a crown?

The crown is a dental restoration that can strengthen and restore the entire top of a tooth. Sometimes there comes a point where the damage to the tooth has removed too much structure to hold a filling. The crown can also be part of the attachment of a fixed bridge for the replacement of teeth. The tooth is strengthened because it is covered from the outside with a casting of metal or ceramic that will wrap up and splint the tooth. The crowned tooth enhances utilization because it can be reshaped to match more efficiently with the opposing teeth. At South Florida Laser Dentistry in Tamarac, FL we believe crowns can improve the esthetics of a smile and look as natural as your real teeth.
