This is why crowns are often considered as a cosmetic investment as well as a restorative one. They can even serve as replacements for missing teeth!<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s dental crowns are more durable and natural-looking than ever before. While a wide range of materials can be used to fabricate a crown, most dentists prefer porcelain crowns. These provide durability and stain-resistance and they mimic the translucence of a natural tooth. Most of all, modern dental crowns can be tailored to fit your smile. Detailed measurements of your mouth and gums are acquired so that your crown can be customized in color, shape and size to blend seamlessly within your smile.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>The Many Ways A Dental Crown Can Fix or Improve Your Smile<\/h3>\n<p>There are a variety of reasons why your dentist may recommend a dental crown.
