A dental crown is a custom-made, tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and improve its appearance. When cemented into place, a crown fully encases the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line, becoming the tooth's new outer surface.

Crowns are an ideal restorative solution for teeth that are broken, weakened by decay, or have undergone a root canal. They provide a durable and aesthetically pleasing result, protecting the underlying tooth from further damage while restoring full function.
