Crowns are one of the strongest and most versatile restorations we offer to our Juneau restorative dentistry patients. Sometimes called caps, crowns are placed to repair, protect, and rebuild damaged or weak teeth by covering the entire surface of your tooth. This creates a brand new, undamaged tooth surface without damaging your roots or your nerves. Dr. Pinney uses crowns to:

• Repair extensive decay
• Rebuild cracked or crumbling teeth
• Protect and reconstruct teeth after a root canal
• Act as a new tooth in an implant
• Anchor a bridge tooth replacement system
• Create a more beautiful surface for poorly shaped or discolored teeth
• Restore worn down teeth to their original length
• Be part of a plan to rebuild your smile

When crowns are used in a bridge system, they both replace missing teeth and act as anchors to bond your prosthetic teeth to the surrounding dentin. These bridges stay in your mouth, letting you smile, eat, and speak with confidence.

As with all of our cosmetic or restorative options, your crown is custom made just for you. You deserve it!
