A crown is an indirect type of dental restoration that completely encircles or caps a tooth. The tooth is modified and prepared with special instruments. The most common method of crowning a tooth involves using a dental impression of a prepared tooth to fabricate the crown outside of the mouth. Your Coquitlam tooth repair expert at Sunrise Dental Clinic can then insert the crown at a subsequent dental appointment. Crowns can be made of gold, porcelain, or a combination of the two. It is the patient who chooses the material.
