Crowns
At MGM Clinic in Enfield, we understand how important it is to have a healthy, functional, and beautiful smile. Dental crowns are one of the most effective ways to restore teeth that are damaged, weakened, or aesthetically compromised. Whether you have a broken tooth, a large cavity, or simply want to improve the appearance of your smile, dental crowns can provide a durable and natural-looking solution.
A dental crown is a cap that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. The crown is custom-made to match the natural contours of your tooth, ensuring both a comfortable fit and a seamless aesthetic appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
With proper care, dental crowns can last between 10 to 15 years or even longer. The longevity depends on factors like the material used, your oral hygiene habits, and the location of the crown.
Dental crowns may be partially covered by insurance, depending on your plan and the reason for the crown (e.g., restoration of a damaged tooth vs. cosmetic reasons). It’s best to check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage.
Not always. A root canal is typically needed if the tooth is severely decayed or infected. However, many patients can get a crown without needing a root canal, especially if the tooth structure is still healthy.
