Crowns

Crowns is a custom cap placed on top of a damaged tooth such as one that underwent a root canal. Like fillings, they are meant to protect and restore teeth that have had excessive decay.

 

A crown can be all metal (such as gold or another alloy), porcelain-fused-to-metal, all resin, or all ceramic. Even children may need a crown, usually made of stainless steel, to protect their baby tooth until the adult one is ready to emerge.
