Crowns

When a tooth has been damaged or weakened by decay, injury or past dental treatment, a crown can restore the tooth, adding strength and preventing further damage.

A dental crown restoration can give a natural look to your teeth as well as adding eating comfort.

What is a crown?

A dental crown is a new cap that is permanently bonded to the top part of the tooth.

Dental crowns can be custom-made from white material such as porcelain, resin, or ceramic as well as from gold or non-precious metal alloys.

A tooth-coloured crown blends in with the colour and shape of your natural teeth for a comfortable bite and a confident smile.

What is the procedure for a crown?

Your dentist will first numb the area around the tooth to be treated with a local anaesthetic to reduce discomfort during the procedure.

The damaged or weakened parts of the tooth are removed and the remaining part is shaped in preparation to receive the new crown.

Your dentist will take impressions or scans of the tooth from which the dental lab will custom- make your unique new crown. A temporary crown protects your tooth while the permanent crown is being made.

When you come back for your return appointment, your dentist will check the fit, shape and appearance of the new crown. When any adjustments have been made, the crown is then permanently bonded to the prepared tooth.

FAQs

How long will my crown last?

A crowned tooth with a healthy base is generally a long-lasting dental restoration that can typically last for 10 to 15 years.

If you have an existing crown you are unhappy with for appearance or functional reasons, contact us for an appointment.

Your dentist is always on hand to advise you on the most appropriate solution to improve the condition of your teeth and enhance your oral health.
