Crowns
If you have a damaged tooth that can’t be fixed by a filling alone, a dental crown can provide a protective cap that looks, feels and functions just like a natural tooth.
What are dental crowns used for?
- Protecting teeth that have large fillings, are broken down or weakened
- Restoring broken teeth
- Hiding poorly shaped teeth and creating a more beautiful smile
- Strengthening teeth that are root-filled and prone to fracturing
- Closing wide spaces between teeth
From the minute you pick up the phone to make an appointment, to the moment you leave the practice, our friendly, experienced team will be here for you.
Benefits of crowns
Because crowns cover the whole tooth, they protect the teeth from further cavities or fractures, and are easy to clean and maintain. They are incredibly strong and, if looked after properly, they can last a lifetime. Plus, they look and feel just like your own teeth, giving you a beautiful, natural looking smile.
The process
We’ll take a digital scan of your teeth and an impression for a temporary crown to be made while your permanent crown is being created. The dental technician will use this scan to create a natural-looking crown.
Before fitting the crown, we’ll remove any weakened parts of your tooth and then shape and prepare so that it is ready to hold the crown. Once the permanent crown is ready, we will then check it for fit, shape, bite and colour before cementing it in place.
