While our natural teeth are biologically designed to function for many years, environmental factors, dietary habits, and physical trauma can lead to tooth loss. Understanding the underlying causes of missing teeth is the first step in maintaining a healthy and functional smile.

A dental crown is a custom-fabricated restoration designed to encase the entire visible portion of a tooth. Crowns are typically recommended when a tooth is severely worn, cracked, or has insufficient structure to support a standard filling. The goal of a crown is to provide structural support and assist in protecting the remaining tooth from further damage.
