A dental crown is a restoration used by Dr. Eric Wiitala to restore the smile. There are many situations in which a patient may have a dental crown placed. Dental crowns are often placed over dental implants to act as a false tooth and restore the smile. Dental crowns may also be placed over a natural tooth that has had extensive work done, such as root canal therapy or a large filling. Dental crowns are versatile, and cover the visible portion of a tooth. They can repair a tooth, protect a tooth, and strengthen a tooth, depending on how it is used. Dr. Eric Wiitala of Scottsdale, AZ finds that dental crowns have many advantages.
