A crown may be recommended for tooth restoration if there is not enough of the original tooth remaining to repair decay with a filling, or if a tooth is cracked, weak, or poorly shaped. A crown is a cap that completely covers the tooth.
Crowns may be made from:
- Metal
- Ceramic
- Composite
- Porcelain
Depending on the material used and complexity of the procedure, costs typically range between $1100 and $2000.
