Crowns are used to restore a tooth when it is damaged or unsightly. They can give a dramatic improvement in the cosmetic appearance of someone's smile. Many people have one or more crowns on their back teeth where a tooth has become heavily filled and eventually needs a stronger more durable restoration. Many people also have a crown or crowns on their front teeth. Many of these crowns are poor and do not at all blend in or enhance the smile - they should! They should be invisible or nearly invisible.

Most crowns on front teeth are now made entirely of very hard porcelain. Occasionally they are still made with porcelain bonded to a thin thimble of precious metal underneath. These crowns are called bonded crowns. Unfortunately if they are not done well they may show an unsightly greyness or grey line at their margin near the gum line.
