The purpose of a
crown is to protect and strengthen a brittle, weakened or
badly broken tooth, (like a root canal tooth or a tooth with a
very large filing). A crown may be made out of gold, a silver
colored metal or white porcelain. Crowns are similar to a
thimble fitting over a finger and fits the tooth precisely and
is cemented to the prepared tooth. Porcelain crowns are often
used for cosmetic reasons.
Composites are fillings that are designed to match the color
of your teeth. |
