If you have a cracked, weak, or damaged tooth, then our dentists may recommend a restoration called a dental crown. These durable restorations are designed to help you maintain a strong, beautiful smile for years to come. To find out if a dental crown is right for your smile, we welcome you to contact our friendly team at Safari Dental in Bryan, TX today.

A dental crown (or cap) is a restoration that can be used for a number of purposes. One of the most common uses of a dental crown is to restore a tooth that is significantly damaged or decayed.
