What Is a Dental Crown?

In this video, Dr. Victor Apel, a dedicated cosmetic dentist in Melbourne discusses how dental crowns, or caps, can help restore a damaged tooth.

A dental crown, or cap, as some people call it, is a restoration that protects and covers the tooth. That may happen for several reasons. The tooth may be broken down, largely decayed, had a root canal, and all of these things help to protect the tooth or save that tooth for the person for their whole life.

Apel at Designing Smiles Dentistry in Melbourne, FL, for a free consultation to learn how restorative treatments like dental crowns can enhance your smile, restore your function, and improve your oral health.
