Dental Crowns: What You Need to Know About Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a ‘custom-shaped tooth-like cap that is used to hide large spaces that can’t be adjusted with simple fillings; it can also be applied if you have oddly shaped, badly stained, discolored, or damaged/broken teeth.
A lot of patients who come to us need dental crowns. In fact, it is one of the most common dental procedures due to its effectiveness and affordability.
Dental crowns help you hide unsightly features of your teeth and enhance the aesthetic appeal of your smile and overall personality.

How Long Does a Dental Crown Last?
