Dental Crowns
A damaged tooth can make biting and chewing painful. However, a filling, inlay, or onlay may not be enough to fix the problem.
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that protect compromised teeth and can also be used with dental implants to replace lost teeth.

What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a protective cap that is placed onto a tooth. The cap prevents further harm to a tooth while restoring its strength, function, and appearance. Crowns can also be attached to dental implants in order to replace a lost tooth.
Crowns can be made from all kinds of materials. When possible, Dr. N. Summer Lerch uses tooth-colored materials that resemble the patient's natural teeth. Thanks to porcelain crowns, you'll be able to smile with renewed confidence and restored dental health.
