Porcelain Crowns
(Caps)
Crowns can serve many purposes. Crowns can
be used to cover a tooth that is likely to break,
or is too broken down to restore with a filling.
They are often commonly used to protect a
tooth from breakage after root canal treatment.

Crowns can also be used to modify the appearance
of teeth. In this example you will see how all
porcelain crowns were used to straighten and
whiten a smile.
