Crowns are a form of dental restoration used to cover a broken or damaged tooth.

Most crowns are constructed from porcelain or a combination of porcelain and metal, giving you a natural-looking tooth with the added strength.

Why do I need a crown?

A crown is a versatile dental restoration, and there are many reasons why your dentist may recommend one.

• Protecting your tooth after a root canal treatment
• Improving a misshapen tooth
• Strengthening a weakened tooth
• Securely anchor and attach a dental bridge
• Covering a dental implant
• Provide structure for a large filling
• Enhancing your smile cosmetically if the tooth is discoloured

Will my crown be visible?

When fitting a crown, we carefully match its colour to your natural teeth so you can feel confident in your smile.

Are dental crowns permanent?

Crowns are designed to provide complete coverage and support on all sides of the tooth. The longevity of your crown will depend on how well you take care of it. Regular brushing and flossing can help to prevent discolouration and tooth decay forming along the margins of the crown.
