Dental Crowns in Montgomery, AL

If you have a cracked or decayed tooth, our dentist may recommend a dental crown to restore and protect it from further damage. Crowns are specially designed to restore the shape, function, strength and appearance of your tooth. They are custom made to match your natural teeth, as well.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown, also known as a cap,is a custom restoration that fits over your entire tooth, starting at the gumline, to return it to its original shape and size. Crowns are one of the most versatile restorations in dentistry, used to address everything from severe decay to cosmetic improvements.

Crown materials include gold, porcelain, and porcelain-fused-to-metal. Porcelain crowns are the most popular choice because they closely match the natural color and appearance of your surrounding teeth. Dr. Loveless will help you determine which material is right for your smile and lifestyle.

Who Is a Candidate for a Dental Crown?

A crown is typically recommended when a dental filling alone cannot successfully restore a tooth because the damage or decay is too extensive. You may be a candidate if you have:

• A tooth that is severely cracked or fractured
• A tooth with large decay where little natural structure remains
• A tooth that has just undergone root canal treatment
• A missing tooth being restored with a dental implant
• A gap being closed with a dental bridge
• A weak tooth at risk of breaking

What Can a Dental Crown Be Used For?

Beyond restoring a damaged tooth, dental crowns serve a wide range of restorative and cosmetic purposes:

• 
  Protect a tooth after root canal treatment — sealing and strengthening the tooth structure
• 
  Complete a dental implant — the crown is the visible, functional top of the implant
• 
  Support a large filling when minimal natural tooth structure remains
• 
  Strengthen a fractured or weakened tooth before it breaks entirely
• 
  Improve the shape or appearance of a tooth for cosmetic reasons
