Crowns

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance.
They are commonly used after treatments such as root canals, fractures, or large cavities.
Crowns can be made of porcelain, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal, and they provide a natural and long-lasting appearance.

Any decay or damage is removed, and the tooth is shaped to create the necessary space for the crown. Then, a digital scan is taken to fabricate the custom crown.
