DESCRIPTION
Also called caps, crowns can be used in place of veneers to make a crooked smile appear straighter, to repair broken or damaged teeth or to cover a bridge or implant. The tooth surface is reduced, then covered with a custom cap in porcelain, porcelain bonded to metal, or another durable
substance. Crowns are sometimes used side-by-side with veneers in a full-mouth restorative procedure.
