The crown fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape of a natural tooth. It will also be tooth coloured, giving the restoration a more natural appearance so it fits in with the rest of your teeth.
A crown could be a good solution for you if you have some discoloured fillings and would like to improve their appearance. Crowns can be used to replace these to give you a more aesthetic smile.
Also, if you have had root canal treatment, you will need a crown to protect or cap the restored tooth, allowing you to eat and bite down on it as if it were a real tooth. Crowns are also used to anchor a bridge or denture firmly in place in the mouth.
