What Is a Dental Crown?
In this video, Dr. Charles Pearson explains what mini dental implants are and how they differ from traditional implants in size, placement protocol, and cost.
What is a dental crown? A dental crown is where we cover a tooth as opposed to filling it. They are also known as caps, which is kind of descriptive of the procedure. It actually covers the tooth, is cemented in place, and stays in place to restore the tooth to full function. Again, that’s usually used on extensively damaged teeth that can no longer be filled because they are too broken down; we cover the tooth and are able to put it back into function that way.
