What Is a Dental Crown?

In this video, Dr. Rose Magno explains how crowns restore damaged teeth and improve aesthetics. Contact our Emeryville office to enhance your smile with this versatile solution.

Crowns are often necessary when a tooth has extensive damage, such as when fillings are too large to adequately restore the tooth. If a tooth is broken or lacks enough healthy structure to support a regular filling, a crown provides the necessary coverage and strength.

In addition to restorative purposes, crowns and veneers are also used for cosmetic reasons. If you’re unhappy with the size, shape, or color of your teeth, we can reshape them and create a crown or veneer to improve the appearance of your smile. These treatments not only restore functionality but also enhance the aesthetics of your teeth, giving you a more confident and natural-looking smile.
