Crowns – a type of dental implant which caps a tooth – are an important item used in dental reconstructions. Approximately 69 percent of adults aged 35 to 44 have lost at least one tooth due to accident, disease, or tooth decay. This statistic highlights how important crowns can be.

How Crowns Work
Crowns are tooth-shaped caps designed to fit over a tooth or dental implant. Typically made from porcelain or metal, crowns are employed when decay or cavities threaten the long-term health of a tooth.
Typically, the crowning process involves the following steps:
- Taking an impression of a tooth
- Placing a temporary crown over the tooth until the permanent crown can be installed
- Fabricating the permanent crown
- Replacing the temporary with the permanent crown
Crowns can be an important way to protect the health of your teeth. If you are experiencing tooth problems, an experienced dentist can determine whether or not a crown is the best option for you.
