Dental Crowns in Forest Hills, NY
Sky Dental Care

A dental crown, sometimes called a “cap,” is a custom-made covering that fits over a tooth. Crowns are used to restore the shape, size, strength, and appearance of teeth that are decayed, cracked, worn down, or cosmetically imperfect. By fully encasing the visible portion of the tooth, crowns not only protect the underlying structure but also improve your smile’s appearance and function.
