In addition to improving the health and stability of a tooth, crowns cover and seal broken, cracked, poorly shaped/malpositioned or severely discolored teeth to restore them to either their natural appearance or shade of your choice.  Crowns can be made using a variety of materials.  Those that are used for cosmetic purposes are typically made using a zirconia substructure covered in porcelain, allowing a life-like translucency that produces a beautiful restoration which lasts for years without discoloring.  They are custom-made by our on-site dental lab, allowing your doctor and the lab technician to work together to create the smile you desire.
