A Crown for a Tooth

Teeth are often restored with fillings of silver or composite plastics.  These materials can often accomplish a strong and aesthetically pleasing restoration of the part of the tooth that has been lost.

However, there comes a point where the damage to the tooth does not leave enough structure to hold a filling.  In this case, the restoration must attach to the remaining tooth, stand up under heavier use and meet more elaborate cosmetic requirements.

A crown is the dental restoration that can strengthen and restore the entire top of a tooth.  Crowns are also part of a fixed bridge used for the replacement of teeth.  The tooth is strengthened because it is covered with a casting of metal or ceramic that will wrap up and add strength to the tooth.

The function of the tooth is improved because it can be reshaped to match more efficiently with the opposing teeth.  A crown made by Dr. Major can improve aesthetics due to the use of modern processes that produce translucency and color that is more natural than has ever been possible.
