Full coverage crown restorations help to restore extensive tooth damage resulting from rampant decay or fracture.  There are different types of full coverage crowns.  Stainless steel crowns rebuild the strength needed to restore badly broken down back molars.  White crowns are primarily placed on more esthetic locations such as the front teeth.  These crowns are pre-made and don’t require multiple visits to be placed.  This type of restoration covers the entire tooth and prevents further damage and decay.
