A crown (or cap) is a restoration that encases the entire tooth restoring it to its original shape and size. Porcelain crowns are made to match the shape, size, and color or your teeth giving you a natural, long-lasting beautiful smile. Crowns protect and strengthen tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations. With proper care, they can last 10-15 years.
