In short
What is a dental crown used for?
A dental crown, or cap, is used for a tooth that is cracked, chipped, discolored or decayed, or after a root canal. It is a natural-looking cover that fits over the damaged tooth to protect it, add strength and comfort, and prevent further damage or infection. At the office of Dr. Angela Berkovich, DMD, these crowns are tooth-colored porcelain fused to a high-noble dental metal like gold.
