## What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance while protecting it from further damage.

Crowns are often recommended when a tooth is too damaged to be restored with a simple filling.
