A dental crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth to cover the tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, and improve its appearance. The crowns, when cemented into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line. A dental crown may be needed in the following situations: 1.To protect a weak tooth (for instance, from decay) from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth. 2. To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't a lot of tooth left. 3. To hold a dental bridge in place. 4.To cover damaged or severely discolored teeth. 5.To cover a dental implant. 6.To make a cosmetic modification. #Dentistry #Dental #Crown #Cosmetic #Teeth #Implant #Fresno For more information please visit our website: http://www.fresnosmilemakeovers.com/
