Crowns

Crowns

A crown is a restoration that fits over the remaining part of a tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape of a natural tooth. A crown is sometimes known as a ‘cap’. A crown is recommended when there is extensive tooth structure loss and a filling will not be strong enough for normal function.

When would I need a crown?

• Cover discoloured or worn teeth
• Replacement of a large filling
• To stop a tooth from further cracking or breaking
• After root canal treatment
