Dental Crowns & Caps in Stamford, CT

Repair and Protect Damaged Teeth

If a tooth is cracked, worn down, weak, or has a large filling, a dental crown may help protect it and restore normal function.

At Stamford Dental Studio, crowns and caps are used to cover damaged teeth and help patients chew comfortably while keeping as much natural tooth structure as possible.

What Are Dental Crowns & Caps?

A dental crown (also called a cap) is a cover placed over a damaged tooth.

The crown covers the visible part of the tooth and helps restore its shape, strength, and appearance.

Crowns may also be used with bridges and dental implants.

Crowns can improve the appearance and shape of teeth.
