Restorative dentistry is the process of covering up or capping a tooth, strengthening or improving its appearance. Crowns are placed for a number reasons:
* Not enough tooth remaining to support a filling
* Attach a bridge
* Protect weak teeth from fracturing
* Restore fractured teeth
* Cover badly shaped or discolored teeth
* Cover a dental implant
Materials used range from gold, porcelain, ceramic or a combination.
