A crown by its very name, is a covering that sits over the top of a tooth. Crowns protect, cover, seal and strengthen your tooth. When a filling just won't do the job, we often turn to the crown.

There are many situations that may call for a crown:

    Smile Makeover - Thornhill Dental Office
  • Large old fillings that have broken down or fallen out
  • Cracked tooth
  • Severe decay
  • Extremely sensitive teeth
  • A broken or fractured tooth
  • Root Canal Therapy

Crowns (also called 'caps') may be the answer to your sensitive back teeth or the crack that a popcorn kernel just caused.
