They restore the tooth’s shape and the size,strength and the general appearance, so they play a very important role in keeping oral health.If you had decay, suffered an injury or went through a root canal, a crown might protect your tooth from additional damage.

- Resin Crowns: On a tight budget, crowns made from resin mix nicely with your own teeth and give a pleasant fix that won’t empty your wallet, they look attractive but sometimes need more care.
- Zirconia Crowns: Known for their toughness and a striking look, crowns made of zirconia are pretty good. they tend to fit in many places of your mouth but sometimes not, and in some cases a dentist would pick other options.
