A crown, or cap, is custom made to fit over the entire tooth, starting at the gum line. Dental crowns can be made of gold, porcelain, or porcelain fused to metal. Crowns are used for a number of purposes. The most common use for a crown is to restore a tooth that is significantly damaged or decayed. Crowns are also used for a number of other purposes, including:
- To protect a tooth following root canal treatment
- To anchor and attach a dental bridge
- To cover and complete a dental implant
- To replace a large filling when little natural tooth structure remains
