Crowns
Crowns are a type of dental restoration which, when cemented into place, fully covers that portion of a tooth which lies at and above the gum line. In comparison, composite fillings/inlays/onlays are dental restorations that are used to fill in or cover over just a portion of a tooth. Since dental crowns encase the entire visible aspect of a tooth, a dental crown in effect becomes the tooth's new outer surface.Crowns are used to rebuild broken or decayed teeth, to strengthen teeth, and as a means by which to enhance the cosmetic appearance of teeth. Crowns can be made out of porcelain/ceramic, gold alloy, or a combination of both. Dental crowns are often referred to as "dental caps".

Testimonials
"Dr. Frank Lau has been my dentist ever since he took over the practice. He is a professional who cares deeply for his patients. The other team members including Shelley the receptionist have always been on top of things and taking care of all my needs. I have always had a pleasant experience visiting the office and highly recommend the practice if you need a dentist."
"I’ve been going to Dr. Frank Lau for over 20 years now and he is amazing! I can honestly say that I’ve fallen asleep in the chair before. I had numerous teeth pulled by him when I was a child and have never had any issues with him or his office. Never had any issues with appointments being cancelled/postponed or issues with billing my insurance. I’ve since moved cities and I still commute 45 minutes each way, just to continue going to him as my dentist. I look forward to my appointments here every 6 months!"
