Over time, your teeth can get damaged. This can happen for a variety of reasons, like tooth decay, injuries or just use over time. Your teeth can lose their shape or size.
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped “caps” that can be placed over your tooth. Think of it like a snug hat for your tooth.
The crown restores the tooth’s shape, size, and appearance. They can also protect the remaining tooth.

Onlays are types of dental crowns that don’t cover as much of your underlying tooth as traditional dental crowns and may be appropriate when you still have enough solid tooth structure.
