Crown restorations are attached to individual teeth. Crowns completely cover the tooth on all sides, helping to correct any problems that you might have with alignment. Crowns are used to repair teeth that have undergone root canals, have severe erosion, or extreme malposition. The use of a crown is essential in any situation that requires greater strength and aesthetics. Crowns are fabricated from ceramic and are indistinguishable from adjacent teeth.
Having crowns applied takes two or three appointments so that your teeth can be prepared and impressions can be made. We use only metal-free ceramics at Dr. Gosch's office.
