The functions of dental crowns
 The
crown serves three important functions. First, it restores the
appearance of your teeth and your face. If your tooth is severely
decayed or cracked, the dentist will need to restore it prior to
preparing a cap. Teeth also support the muscles in our faces, so
anything less than a full tooth may affect the way you look.
Second, a crown will be the same size and shape as the natural tooth. As
a result, it will keep your jaw and bite aligned; it will also make sure
that other teeth don't shift locations or take on a greater share of the
work of biting and chewing.
Third, crowns on front teeth are necessary for phonetics. The edge
of the crown must be positioned just right in order to properly
pronounce your words.
