Dental crowns give teeth a new lease of life. The appearance and function of teeth can suffer because of trauma, chipping or ageing. In such cases, our dentists may recommend fitting the damaged tooth with a crown. This common treatment restores the natural look and feel of your teeth.
What is a dental crown?
Dental crowns are a type of cap, positioned over a damaged tooth, that restores normal function and helps to protect the underlying tooth from further damage. Crowns have both an aesthetic and a functional purpose, in that they restore the look and utility of individual damaged teeth.
Why would I need dental crowns?
A dentist may recommend a crown if you have a tooth that is damaged or decayed to the point that it has become too large for a simple filling. If your teeth have suffered trauma or appear discoloured, a crown can correct the problem.
What are the benefits of dental crowns?
- Offers additional support to fractured, cracked, or otherwise damaged teeth, restoring look and function without the need for extraction and replacement.
- Tooth coloured crowns match the natural look of your teeth, restoring your smile without negatively affecting your bite and chewing function.
- Long term solution that should ideally not require additional treatment or replacement for many years, if properly maintained.
