Crowns are dental treatments used to repair and protect teeth by covering the visible part of a broken or damaged tooth. Crowns are often placed on top of dental implants to create a natural-looking artificial tooth. They are also used to cover a tooth that is not attractive due to staining or damage. Crowns provide a natural-looking protective covering for teeth that are too damaged or decayed to be repaired with a traditional filling. These dental installations protect teeth from further damage and can improve the appearance of a tooth if it is cracked, stained, broken, or chipped. Porcelain crowns are often preferred because they are tinted to match the neighboring teeth. Crowns are meant to be long-lasting. If your crown becomes loose or damaged, Dr. Chin or one of his associates can repair or replace the crown.
Crowns are used for a variety of cosmetic and restorative dental services. Some patients choose to cap their teeth with crowns to provide a uniform appearance, while others need crowns to protect and support their teeth. Some of the conditions that crowns are used to treat include:

Bridges are secured to the natural neighboring teeth or dental implants if the patient has had these installed. Dr. Chin applies bridges to address a variety of dental concerns including:
