Crowns or “Caps” act as a strong helmet that bands the tooth together like the metal strap on a barrel.
Large Filling or Decay
Tooth has reached a point that adding more filling will weaken the remaining tooth structure.
Tooth Prepared
Decay removed, tooth shaped into a column that the Crown/Cap can slide onto.
Crown Cemented
Crown cemented onto tooth, serving as a protective 'helmet' and esthetic replica of the tooth.
