What are crowns?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, strength and appearance.

Why you might need a crown:

• One of your natural teet his cracked or broken.
  
• There is severe tooth decay or large fillings on a natural tooth.
  
• After a root canal treatment a crown is fitted to protect the damaged natural tooth.
  
• To improve the look of a discoloured or misshaped natural tooth.
  
• To anchor a dental bridge.
  

What to expect:

• An initial consultation and digital scans of your tooth.
  
• Your natural tooth is reshaped to prepare for the crown.
  
• A temporary crown is fitted while your custom one is made.
  
• The final fitting and adjustment of your permanent crown.
  
• A durable, natural-looking tooth to restore your beautiful smile!
  

What you need to know:

• Crowns are made from strong ceramic or porcelain.
  
• Crowns are designed and made to match your existing natural teeth so they blend in seamlessly with your smile.
  
• Most crowns last 10–15 years with proper care.
  
• The procedure is safe and typically pain-free.
