What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over the entire visible part of a tooth. It restores the tooth's shape, size and strength while blending in completely with the teeth around it.
A crack can spread over time, causing pain or a complete break. A crown seals the tooth, prevents further damage and restores full function.
When more than half the tooth is filling material, it becomes weak and fracture-prone. A crown wraps around the tooth and gives it back its strength.
Without its nerve and blood supply, a tooth becomes brittle. A crown protects and reinforces it so you can bite and chew normally.
A crown can completely reshape a discoloured, misaligned or poorly shaped tooth, covering the entire surface for a natural-looking result.
The crown is the visible part that sits above the gum line, custom-made to match the colour, shape and size of your surrounding teeth.
Grinding, acid erosion or general wear can reduce teeth over the years. Crowns rebuild the lost height and shape, restoring your bite.
Why choose a dental crown?
A crown is one of the most reliable ways to restore a damaged tooth, bringing back both the look and the function so you can eat, speak and smile with complete confidence.
How your crown is fitted
The process usually takes two appointments, with a temporary crown protecting your tooth while the permanent one is made.
We examine the tooth, take X-rays and discuss the best type of crown for your situation. You'll know exactly what to expect before we begin.
Under local anaesthetic, we gently reshape the tooth to create the ideal foundation for the crown. Any decay or old filling material is removed at the same time.
We take a precise digital scan of the prepared tooth and surrounding teeth. This is sent to the lab so your crown is milled to exact measurements.
A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while your permanent one is being crafted. You can eat and speak normally during this time.
At your second appointment, we fit the final porcelain crown. We check the colour, shape and bite before cementing it permanently in place.
