What is a Crown?

A crown is an artificial restoration that fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong & giving it the shape of a natural ‘cap’.

Why Would I Need a Crown?

Crowns are an ideal restoration for teeth that have been broken, or have been weakened by decay or a very large filling. A crown could be used for a number of other reasons, for instance:

•  You may have discoloured fillings & would like to improve the appearance of the tooth.
•  You may have had a root filling which will need a crown to protect it.
•  It may help hold a bridge or denture firmly in place.
