The purpose of a dental crown or cap is to restore a needy tooth which has been broken, worn excessively, has a large portion of the tooth that has been compromised by decay or a tooth that has an extremely large restoration (filling).  Once Dr. Raymond Ferri or Dr. Patrick Lawrence has placed the dental crown or cap, it restores the original shape, strengthens the tooth and improves the cosmetic appearance of the tooth.  Your first appointment is a consultation with Dr. Raymond Ferri or Dr. Patrick Lawrence to see what type of crown is needed for your tooth.
