Dental Crowns at Shen Dental in Vancouver
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, and function while protecting it from further harm. Crowns are a versatile solution for strengthening teeth after decay, fractures, or root canals, as well as for enhancing their appearance.
