Crowns
Dental crowns, or caps, are designed to restore the strength, function, and appearance of damaged or weakened teeth.
There are many different types of crowns made from durable materials like porcelain, ceramic or gold. Your dentist will advise which is the best choice for you. Crowns fit securely over your tooth like a cap and are crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
To Restore Damaged Teeth: Crowns strengthen and support teeth that due to loss of tooth structure have been weakened or fractured, or extensively decayed.
After Root Canal Therapy: Crowns protect treated teeth from fractures and restore their appearance and function.
For Dental Implants: Crowns are bonded onto dental implants.
For Cosmetic Enhancement: Crowns improve the look of misshapen, discoloured, or poorly sized teeth, enhancing your smile.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
When are Dental Crowns Used?
Restored Functionality: Crowns bring back the strength and function of damaged teeth.
Natural Appearance: Customised to match your natural teeth, crowns provide a seamless and natural-looking restoration.
Long-lasting Results: With proper care, crowns can last for many years.
Versatility: Crowns address a wide range of dental issues, making them a versatile solution.
Aftercare for Your Dental Crowns
Maintain good oral hygiene at home and schedule regular visits to the hygienist, avoid chewing on hard or sticky foods – like ice or toffees – and have regular Oral Health Assessments to ensure the health and longevity of your crowns.
The Difference Between a Crown and an Onlay
Crowns cover the entire tooth. Onlays only cover part of the tooth but still provide great protection.
