Crowns

 

 

To replace large amounts of lost tooth structure

A crown, also referred to as a cap, is a dental restoration that covers the entire tooth, replacing its outer layer of enamel with a new material. A crown is contoured and sized similarly to a natural tooth, and they come into contact with the opposite tooth in a normal way, allowing for food to be chewed properly. In general, a crown should feel like a regular tooth when it comes to function. River Place Dental uses composite material (tooth colored, so it can look like a perfectly natural tooth).
