Imperfections in the smile can happen with time, especially if there is damage to the natural tooth structure. This may include chips, cracks, or even breakage and trauma to a tooth. Dr. Gregory R Cox of Rugby Dental Arts, Charlottesville, Virginia, recommends the fabrication and placement of a dental crown to restore compromised teeth.
Our team describes the dental crown as a cap made of porcelain, ceramic, gold, or metal to cover a natural tooth to strengthen or protect it. When a tooth is damaged or weakened, it can be vulnerable to further damage or decay. A dental crown acts as a protective shield for the affected tooth, preventing any further wear and tear.

Dr. Gregory R Cox will work closely with you to determine the best type of dental crown suitable for your specific needs and preferences.
