A full crown or cap is recommended when a tooth is decayed, fractured, or weakened and cannot be repaired through conventional restoration methods. A dental crown covers the entire visible portion of your tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance.

In cases where the damage is extensive, your dentist may use additional retention methods such as a post and core or retention pins to provide extra support before placing the crown. Crowns are custom-made to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth, providing both protection and an improved smile.
