Crowns Austin

Crowns are a tooth-shaped cap that can be placed on top of a tooth to cover areas that may have been removed due to decay or breakage. In the past, crowns were often made of metal (silver and gold), making them somewhat unsightly. Today's crowns are more likely to be made of ceramic or porcelain. Both options in crowns are available in Austin and can keep your smile looking young and healthy.

Dental crowns have a huge variety of functions--more than most people think. Crowns also provide important protection against future decay. A tooth with a crown is less susceptible to the bacteria that causes damage and decay in the first place.
