What a crown does
A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers the whole tooth. Dental crowns in Salt Lake City protect teeth that are damaged or weak, restore their shape and help prevent further breakage, so you can chew normally again.
When you might need one
- A cracked or broken tooth
- A large filling that has failed or weakened the tooth
- After a root canal, to protect the tooth
- Decay too large for a filling
- A worn or misshapen tooth
How it works
We numb the area, shape the tooth and take careful measurements so your crown fits your bite. You'll wear a temporary crown while your permanent one is made, then come back to have it fitted and bonded in place.
Before we start, we explain every option and the cost up front. No surprises at checkout.
