Restore Strength and Beauty with Dental Crowns
When a tooth is weakened, damaged, or severely decayed, a dental crown can restore its strength, functionality, and appearance. At Hill Family Dental in Orem, UT, we provide custom dental crowns designed to look and feel like your natural teeth while offering long-term durability.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its structure and protect it from further damage. Crowns can be made from materials such as porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of both.
When Do You Need a Dental Crown?
You may need a dental crown if you have:
- A cracked or broken tooth
- A tooth weakened by decay or large fillings
- A misshapen or severely discolored tooth
- A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy
- A dental implant that needs a restoration
