Crowns

Restore your teeth with Crowns
A crown is fitted over the remaining part of a tooth, which makes it stronger and helps restore its regular look.
A crown is fitted over the remaining part of a tooth, which makes it stronger and helps restore its regular look.
There are many reasons why we may recommend them. Your tooth may be extremely decayed and not strong enough to be restored anymore, the top portion of the tooth may have been accidentally damaged, or you may need one following root canal treatment. Crowns are also sometimes needed to help support a dental bridge.
We will numb your tooth and adjacent area, so we are able to prepare your tooth, and create a mould, or impression, of the area. We will also note the natural shade of your teeth. These will be used for the creation of a perfect crown by a dental laboratory.
While the crown is being made, you will be fitted with a temporary one. Once your new crown is ready – usually within two weeks – we will fit it and bond it firmly into place.




Your dentist may put a crown or crowns on your teeth for a variety of different reasons:
- the tooth may have been weakened by having a very large filling
- you may have discoloured fillings and want to improve the appearance of the teeth
- you may have had a root filling which will need a crown to protect it
- you may have had an accident and damaged the tooth
- your tooth may have been fractured
- you may want to improve the appearance of your smile
This will depend on the strength and stability of your remaining tooth, the weight of your bite, and how well you take care of your tooth with a great oral health regimen and a healthy diet that limits sugary foods and drinks. If all these aspects are positive, a crown can last a lifetime.
There are many kinds of crown, including porcelain, gold, porcelain bonded to precious metal, and ceramic. If a tooth is root filled, it may take a metal or carbon fibre post for support or retention.
