A crown (cap) is a restoration that encases the entire tooth restoring it to its original shape and size. It protects and strengthens remaining tooth structure that is too compromised to be restored with a filling alone. As opposed to a filling, a crown procedure requires two appointments, about one week apart.Crowns are very durable and as with fillings, good oral hygiene practices and regular dental visits will extend their lifetime.
