Crowns are a type of dental restoration which when cemented into place, cup over the portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line. Dental Crowns encase the entire visible aspect of a tooth and thereby, the crown becomes your tooth's new outer surface. Dr. Lam is a very knowledgeable dentist and he will tell you that crowns can be made out of porcelain which is a sort of dental ceramic. If you're suffering from less than perfect teeth call us today!
