A crown, also known as a cap, covers a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size, thereby strengthening and improving its overall appearance.
A crown may be recommended to cover and support a tooth with a large filling. A crown can be used to attach a bridge, protect a weak tooth from breaking, or restore one that is already broken.
There are three main types of dental crowns. Each designed for different applications. Metal gold crowns are particularly suitable for posterior teeth exposed to heavy chewing forces.
Porcelain or ceramic crowns, offer excellent aesthetic results and closely match the appearance of natural teeth. They blend seamlessly in with your smile.
Finally, Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns combine the strength of metal with the cosmetic appeal of porcelain. This type of crown is often recommended for load-bearing teeth that are visible when you smile.

Dr. Osmar M. Morales is the best dentist I have ever been to. He is very conscientious about minimizing pain and discomfort. My temporary crown fit so perfectly, I forgot I had it. The new crown is flawless too! Thanks, Dr. Morales!!
I'm not a patient yet, but my husband is. I had a brief encounter with the dentist and staff yesterday and they could not have been more professional polite helpful and friendly. Such a breath of fresh air! I actually felt like we were people and patience instead of a number looking forward to Long "healthy mouth" relationship with them Michael and Donna Sullivan
