A composite resin crown is a tooth-colored covering which wraps around the entire crown of a front tooth, making it look like a healthy tooth again. The term “composite resin” refers to the material that is used: a combination of plastic-type materials that form a strong and durable surface.
A composite resin crown is used to repair front teeth that have been damaged by decay, malformation, discoloration or injury. Because the tooth-colored material wraps around the entire tooth surface it is much stronger and longer lasting than normal fillings which only cover part of a tooth.
Composite resin crowns are color matched to the other teeth in the mouth and look like a real tooth. Composite resin crowns can be performed on primary and permanent teeth. When a composite resin crown is performed on a primary tooth, in most cases it will stay in place until the tooth falls out naturally.
