A crown, also known as a cap, covers a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size, thereby strengthening and improving its overall appearance.
A crown may be recommended to cover and support a tooth with a large filling. A crown can be used to attach a bridge, protect a weak tooth from breaking, or restore one that is already broken.
There are three main types of dental crowns. Each designed for different applications. Metal gold crowns are particularly suitable for posterior teeth exposed to heavy chewing forces.
Porcelain or ceramic crowns, offer excellent aesthetic results and closely match the appearance of natural teeth. They blend seamlessly in with your smile.
Finally, Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns combine the strength of metal with the cosmetic appeal of porcelain. This type of crown is often recommended for load-bearing teeth that are visible when you smile.

I came to doctor Latour’s office due to an implant that would eventually fail if an infection was not addressed. Dr. Latour was able to not only assess the situation but also remove the implant crown without breaking it, clean the infection, treat the infection and replace the crown so it looks like before! She was compassionate, encouraging and hopeful that this implant dilemma will eventually be resolved. Her staff is also wonderful. I am so grateful to them and highly recommend her dental practice.
Dr. Latour did her magic AGAIN! I always feel comfortable in the Mint Dentistry office. I have been going there since Dr. Latour took over the office from retired Dr. Lynch. The staff is always friendly and accommodating in every way. This visit , I needed a repair on a chipped front crown. We came to an agreement as to what we would try. Dr. Latour bonded a filling on the crown. It looks beautiful and hopefully with careful eating on my part, it will last a long time.
Dr Latour is great. I needed to come in for an urgent crown repair. My crown had popped off while eating a small piece of carmel. Doc was able to see me quickly and I was out within an hour. She is awesome and so is her staff
