A dental crown, (also known as a cap) is a covering on a damaged tooth that encases the whole tooth surface. This restores it to be similar to its original size and shape. A crown can protect and strengthen a tooth that can no longer be fixed with a filling. There are many types of dental crowns but the most common are porcelain crowns. The latest style of porcelain crowns and durable, tooth coloured and will last many years.
