Crowns

A crown is a restora­tion that cov­ers, or caps, a tooth entirely to restore it to a healthy shape and size.

Its pur­pose is to strengthen or improve the appear­ance of a tooth. Porce­lain crowns are strong, long-lasting and they look great. Vir­tu­ally indis­tin­guish­able from your nat­ural teeth, crowns restore func­tion and aes­thet­i­cally enhance your smile by fit­ting snugly over a tooth.

A Crown is nec­es­sary when a tooth is in poor con­di­tion. This is the case when a tooth starts to crack, break, is decayed or dis­eased. These con­di­tions could be due to; large fill­ings, the age­ing of teeth, the grind­ing of teeth, improper bite, poor oral hygiene or after Root Canal Therapy.

For many years, tra­di­tional metal-based Crowns have been used to strengthen or rebuild teeth. Through the lat­est advance­ments in Cos­metic Den­tistry, Porce­lain Crowns are now an effec­tive aes­thet­i­cally pleas­ing option.
