How Does Cosmetic Dentistry Work?

Dental crowns are a common cosmetic dentistry procedure, but what exactly are they and why might you need one? A dental crown is a cap that is placed over a tooth that has been broken or has severe decay. The crown fits right over the tooth to protect it from further damage while also improving the appearance of the tooth. The nice thing about crowns is that they are custom-made to fit the exact shape and size of your tooth. They are also durable and can last for many years if cared for properly.
