A crown (or cap) is used to protect teeth in situations where a conventional filling would not suffice. Typically, crowns are done when teeth have undergone root canal therapy or have large/fractured fillings. There are many types of crowns, from porcelain and ceramic to metal and gold, each with their own benefits. When a crown is indicated, Dr. Ng and Dr. Jabr will review with you any recommendations suitable to your particular case.
