When a patient’s tooth needs its shape, size, strength, and appearance restored, Dr. Pape, Dr. Ramjit and our team may recommend a dental crown in Key West, Florida. A dental crown is a tooth-shaped covering that is placed over a tooth, entirely covering the visible part of the tooth. Our dentists may recommend a custom-made dental crown to:
• Keep a weak tooth from breaking
• Hold a cracked tooth together
• Restore a broken or badly worn down tooth
• Cover and support a tooth with a large dental filling
• Anchor a dental bridge
• Cover a misshaped or badly stained tooth
• Cover a dental implant
• Improve the appearance of a tooth
Our dentists may place a dental crown on primary teeth, or baby teeth, to:
• Preserve the space for adult teeth
• Save a tooth that is too badly damaged to support a dental filling
• Protect the tooth of a child that is at high risk for cavities
• Protect the tooth of a child who has a hard time keeping up with dental hygiene
• Decrease the use of general anesthesia for children that are unable to cooperate during dental treatments
