Dr. Karagodsky often uses a dental crown to repair a badly decayed or fractured tooth. Crowns fit over a prepared tooth like a cap, protecting it from infection and providing reinforced structure. A very skilled and experienced restorative dentist, Dr. Karagodsky places all types of crowns. He may use crowns made from porcelain, zirconium, BruxZir®, emax®, or porcelain fused to metal (PFM), depending on what is best for the patient. In addition to restoring teeth very effectively, our crowns look beautifully natural and will blend naturally to your smile.
