What are dental crowns?

A dental crown is a cap that covers a damaged, weakened or root-canal-treated tooth to restore its shape and strength. Crowns are made from porcelain, ceramic, metal, or porcelain fused to metal. Some clinics make same-day crowns with in-office milling.

Dental crowns: specialist or general dentist?

General dentists place most crowns. A prosthodontist, a specialist in restoring teeth, may be recommended for complex cases involving many teeth, implants, or major bite changes.

How much do dental crowns cost in Salinas?
