Crowns are dental restorations which cup over the portion of the tooth which lies above the gum line. People sometimes refer to dental crowns as "caps". Dental crowns can either be gold or else have a porcelain surface so they look white like the tooth's neighboring teeth. A dentist will use a dental crown as a means of improving the appearance of a tooth, restoring a broken down tooth to its original shape, and/or strengthening a tooth. After a tooth has had root canal treatment, any or all of these qualities may be needed.
