A Brandon dental crown may not make you feel like royalty, but it is one of the premiere treatments for teeth with extensive decay or damage. Dental crowns are a secure way to fill gaps and restore a smile if a patient has missing or severely damaged teeth by putting a cover or a cap over the tooth or in the tooth area. Dental crowns are also used to hold a dental bridge in place, cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth, or cover a tooth after a root canal procedure. Dental crowns help their recipients to improve their ability to bite and chew which can improve the overall health of a patient.
