The terms dental crowns and caps are synonymous. If dental decay, cracked fillings, root canals, clenching or grinding the teeth have caused extensive damage to the underlying tooth structure a dental filling may not be a sufficient restoration. The only way to completely restore the cosmetic appearance and function of this tooth is often full coverage with a dental crown. The good news is that a completed dental crown looks and feels like a natural tooth.
In addition to restoring a single natural tooth, crowns can be used in other situations including being the supporting ends of dental bridge, covering dental implants, or as coverage for a cracked tooth to prevent further breakdown. A crown may also be indicated when a discolored or stained tooth needs to be restored to its natural appearance. Crowns can be made of either porcelain baked onto a metal substrate, all-porcelain, or many of the new ceramic materials that have been developed.
amazing testimonials
“Moody Street Dental is friendly, flexible with scheduling, and does such a good job communicating and explaining with what is going on. They have fixed many of my dental issues that previous dentists missed or did not take the time to do properly. 10/10 recommend!” - Julia K.
“I came to Moody Street dental and found out I needed a few fillings. I was turning 26 in a few weeks and was going to lose my insurance but they made sure that I got in and got all the fillings I needed on extremely short notice. It was very selfless of them, and I’m grateful I got the dental work I needed before my insurance ran out!” - Connor J.
“I found Moody Street on Elm with a quick search after moving to Waltham in the last year. Visiting was a great experience! I have a long history of painful orthodontist visits, and so any dental visits give me a little bit of anxiety. The staff was very kind and it was genuinely such a good experience. No pain and they were very helpful. I highly recommend the practice!” - Tara D.
