Traditionally, dental crowns or dental supported crowns (in the menu, please see "dental crowns") are caps placed on top of damaged teeth. Crowns are used to protect, cover and restore the shape of your teeth when fillings don't solve the problem for a natural tooth.

In the case when teeth are replaced with implants, a dental crown for the implant or often referred to as an implant crown serves the same purpose to protect, cover and restore the shape of your teeth resulting in establishing a complete functional and esthetic outcome.
