Dental crown restoration

Dental Crowns in Madisonville, LA

Dental crowns are used to restore and enhance teeth that are damaged, or to replace missing teeth. A dental crown, also called a cap, is used to entirely cover a damaged tooth. A dental crown not only strengthens the tooth, but it can also dramatically improve the tooth's appearance, shape and alignment.

Crowns may be used to…

  • Replace a large filling when there is little tooth structure remaining
  • Protect a weak tooth from fracturing
  • Restore a fractured tooth
  • Attach a bridge
  • Cover a dental implant
  • Cover a discolored or poorly-shaped tooth
  • Cover a tooth that has had root canal treatment
