What are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is permanently bonded to a patient’s tooth, to restore its shape, size, and strength. Dental crown treatment can be completed in a single visit or two. The dental crown fully encloses the visible portion of the patient’s tooth or dental implant. Only a dentist can install or remove the crown and with the proper care, it can last up to 15 years.
