Dental Crowns in California

Dental crowns, which are widely used in the state of California, are also referred to as CAPS. When teeth wear down and crack or break, a cosmetic dentist may use a crown to repair the damage. Teeth that have problems with their entire surface also will have a crown used to repair them. California cosmetic dentists use crowns when protection of the entire tooth is necessary, as placing a crown on a tooth usually requires removing a large amount of the tooth and then the crown placed over the remaining tooth for protection. Crowns are durable and last for quite a while. Crowns are not used for aesthetic purposes, but for repair purposes.
