Dental crowns are one of the oldest dental restorations, almost as old as the practice of dentistry itself. Like every aspect of dental care and medical technology, crowns and bridges have evolved over time, and remain one of the most versatile and reliable dental restorations available. Whether you need to restore a damaged tooth or replace missing teeth, crowns are a great option to restore the cosmetic appearance and function of your teeth. Dr. Gale Marana, a dentist in Aiea, HI, recommends porcelain crowns to correct a number of cosmetic and general dentistry issues.
Porcelain Crowns and Bridges in Aiea, HI
A crown is literally a cap that is placed over a broken or severely decayed tooth.
