A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.
Reasons for crowns:
Although there are several types of crowns, porcelain (tooth colored crown) are the most popular, because they resemble your natural teeth. They are highly durable and will last many years. Porcelain crowns are made to match the shape, size, and color or your teeth giving you a natural, long-lasting beautiful smile. Dr. Juarros & Dr. Hernandez do their own fabrication using state of the art equipment (Cerec) that allows for rapid fabrication. The crown is fabricated, fitted, & placed in one office visit, no coming back for a second appointment!
