Dental crowns:
before and after
Dental crowns, also called teeth caps, can transform your smile into one you will want to show off with confidence.
Teeth crowning can renew your smile
A dental crown can improve how your tooth looks and functions. Unlike a veneer, which covers only the front of your tooth, a dental crown protects your entire tooth. If one of your teeth has a large filling, is cracked or cosmetically compromised, a dental crown may be a good option for you.
Dental crown materials for your needs
The type of dental crown you need is influenced by a variety of factors, including the type of material you want and the dental need it’s addressing. Notice the difference, before and after treatment.

How teeth crowning works
Applying a crown involves removing the outer layer of a tooth. Next, a custom-made crown is placed over the existing tooth. Like other Cosmetic Dentistry options, a crown will change the look of a tooth before and after treatment—and will also protect it.
