Crowns are a form of dental restoration and are used to cover broken and damaged teeth.
Most crowns are made up of porcelain or a combination of porcelain and metal, which will give you a natural-looking tooth with added strength.

A crown is an adaptable dental restoration technique, and there are many reasons why your dentist may recommend one.

• Cover a dental implant.
• Strengthen a weakened tooth
• Enhance your smile cosmetically if the tooth is discoloured
• Provide structure for a large filling
• Improve a misshapen tooth
• Securely anchor and attach a dental bridge
• Protect your tooth after a root canal treatment.

The dentist will carefully examine your teeth and match the crown colour with your natural teeth colour while fitting the crown so you can feel confident in your smile.

Crowns are designed in a way to provide complete coverage and support on all sides of the tooth. The life span of your crown will depend on how well you take care of it. Regular brushing and flossing will help you to prevent discolouration and tooth decay from forming along the margins of the crown.
