As a Flint, MI, dentist who places a premium on restoring smiles, Dr. Naik often recommends dental crowns, also called dental caps, for patients who have a tooth that is severely damaged. Whether for an adult or a child, a dental crown can be used to:

• Protect a tooth with a cavity too large to be saved by only a filling
• Preserve the integrity of a tooth that is threatened by one or more deep cracks
• Restore a tooth that is fractured or unusually worn down
• Hold a dental bridge in position
• Complete a dental implant procedure
• Rebuild a tooth that is misshaped

Dr. Naik will be able to determine if you are best served by having a dental crown. In most cases, she is able to create an all-porcelain crown that precisely matches the existing color of your smile.
