Dental crowns are used to treat structural damage, mend enamel, and complete a restorative treatment. These complications can increase tooth sensitivity to pressure or temperature. After an underlying condition has been resolved, such as implant restoration, filling, or a root canal, the rest of the tooth is covered by a crown to protect it from further damage.
Crowns are often made up of highly durable materials that are resilient to trauma, biting, grinding, and chewing food. On average, crowns can last for over 30 years with proper oral hygiene and frequent check-ups.
