You might receive a crown to protect a damaged tooth or to add appeal to your smile. A crown caps a tooth, encasing it and giving it a lifelike and durable restoration. One of the most common reasons people receive a crown is to preserve the beauty and function of a tooth after it has undergone root canal therapy. Advanced decay and damage leave a tooth weak and fragile, so a crown fortifies the tooth, conserving it.
Crowns are made of a variety of substances, and you and your dentist can discuss materials that best suit you. Typically, the front teeth, or incisors, are covered with a lustrous material that appears most like natural teeth, whereas molars in the back of the mouth need a crown that is durable for chewing.
