A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over a damaged tooth to cover to restore its shape and size, strength, and improve its appearance.
This common dental restoration may be used to protect a cracked tooth, restore functionality of a tooth with excessive decay or replace a pre-existing crown.
How it works?
To perform the crown procedure, your dentist prepares the tooth and makes a moulded impression of the teeth to send to a dental laboratory. Once completed, the crown can be cemented or adhesively bonded at a later visit.
Why would I need a Crown?
- Replace a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth remaining
- Protect weak tooth from fracturing
- Restore broken tooth
- Attach a bridge
- Cover a dental implant
- Cover a discoloured or poorly shaped tooth
- Cover a tooth that has had root canal treatment
Crowns can be made from a variety of materials, depending on price, location in the mouth and the patient’s preference.
