What Is a Dental Crown?

In this video, Dr. Rameek McNair explains how a dental crown protects and strengthens compromised teeth, enhancing both functionality and appearance.

A dental crown is a protective covering that is placed over a tooth to prevent it from breaking. It is commonly used for teeth that have undergone significant structural compromise, such as having a large filling, experiencing substantial decay, or containing a sizable cavity. The crown effectively encapsulates the entire visible portion of the tooth above the gum line, reinforcing its structure and ensuring its functionality. This restoration not only strengthens the tooth but also restores its shape, appearance, and size, making it a vital treatment option for preserving oral health.
