With Keels Family & Cosmetic Dentistry expertise in restorative dentistry, you can trust that your dental crown will be expertly designed and fitted for optimal comfort and functionality.
What is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns cover the entire exposed tooth; it is permanently cemented to restore strength, shape, and appearance. Dental crowns are crafted from either metal or porcelain materials, depending on your needs and preferences.
The best thing about porcelain crowns is that they can be tinted to match the color of your existing teeth for a more natural appearance. With metal crowns, the strength and longevity of the restoration are maximized due to its superior durability.

Dental crowns are crucial to restorative dentistry, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits. Different types of dental crowns are available, each with unique characteristics and advantages. Understanding the different types can help patients make informed decisions about their oral health.
- Porcelain Crowns
