What it is
A crown is a cap fitted over a tooth. It can cover and protect a tooth that is damaged or weakened.
What a visit may involve
Assessment and preparation come first. The dentist explains the crown material, fitting process and whether more than one visit is needed.
Your dentist would explain the proposed approach, alternatives, potential risks and expected costs before any treatment decision.
A question to bring
to your dentist
Why is a crown being considered, and what are the alternatives?
