Porcelain Crowns

My New Jersey Dentist

Dental crowns cover a tooth entirely. Crowns are necessary when a tooth is weakened or missing a large part of its original structure. Crowns are also called dental caps. There is no difference between a crown, a dental cap, or a tooth cap, as all are the same tooth restoration.

Crowns can be made from various materials, but most nowadays are made from porcelain. A well-fabricated and properly cared-for porcelain crown can last ten years or longer.
