CROWNS
Why you need them: Crowns
(sometimes referred to as caps) are used to cover teeth that have been
weakened by decay around fillings or that are severely damaged, decayed,
chipped, discolored, or misaligned. Crowns may also be required after a
root canal or when a tooth cracks or breaks. The most common materials
used for crowns are metal (gold), porcelain, or porcelain fused to metal.
Visits: Two.
Durability:
Crowns can last from five to more than 15 years,
depending on the material used and the care you give your teeth.
