Profile: Todays Dental specializes in providing dental crowns and bridges. Dental crowns are used to restore the look and function of teeth that have been weakened as a result of dental decay, old restorations or cracks. Dental crowns are like a thimble that covers the whole tooth and not only strengthens it but can change the shape and color. Crowns may be made of various materials depending on the condition of the tooth, position in the mouth and the need for strength. Most crowns now use advanced materials technology and can be completely blended with natural teeth. A root canal treated tooth involving significant loss in tooth structure normally requires a crown for protection. A missing tooth replaced by an implant is also restored with a crown.
