Dental crowns are a popular solution to teeth that have been damaged by injury or decay. We understand that not every type of crown works for every tooth, which is why we offer three types of crowns at Lifetime Dental Care: porcelain outer surface and metal base, pure porcelain or composite, or all metal. If youâ€™re in need of a high-quality dental crown in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, we invite you to schedule an appointment with our dentist, Dr. Anthony Butchert, to discuss your options.

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.
