Crowns

A crown is a restoration fabricated by the dental laboratory that covers the entire tooth. Crowns can be ceramic, part ceramic and part metal, or all metal. They are used when the tooth is severely broken down and a more conservative alternative will not be sufficient for lasting protection.

Before and After Photos

Before: Note the short, discolored crowns on the two front teeth.  After: A "gum lift" was performed to lengthen teeth. To create a more harmonious smile, the old crowns were replaced with new all-ceramic crowns and bonding was used to recontour the shape of the adjacent teeth.
