Dental Crowns are tooth-shaped caps which are placed on the tooth to restore the shape, size, and appearance of the tooth. It also enhances the strength of the tooth. If the major part of the tooth is missing, then the crown is the best solution for it. By placing the crown, a tooth can function normally again.
A Teeth cap gives your tooth strength, shape, size, and helps to improve the appearance of your tooth. If your dentist has advised you to get a crown and you are delaying the process then there are chances that you can damage your tooth to the extent that extraction is the last resort. Moreover, not getting a dental crown can wear down other adjacent teeth causing damage.
