What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are also referred to as caps because they create full coverage over the existing tooth to mimic its natural shape. Crowns are used to protect an existing tooth from further damage or restore your original tooth's look before decay or damage occurs. They can be made from a variety of synthetic materials, including porcelain, resin, ceramic, and metal with porcelain being the most common.

How Do Dental Crowns Work?

Before placing dental crowns, your dentist in Hartsdale, NY, will prepare your existing tooth by removing any areas of decay and shaping the tooth. Then they make an impression, or mold, of your tooth's shape. That way, your dental crown is 100% unique to you and your needs, blending in seamlessly with your existing teeth. We match the color of your dental crown with your existing teeth.
