A crown is a dental restoration that fits over a tooth and is cemented in place.

Crowns can be used on all teeth to restore appearance and function.

Crowns for front teeth are usually makde of porcelain, porcelain on a metal backing or a reinforced plastic. The same materials can be used for back. Sometime when appearance in not important, crowns on back teeth may be made of metal, such as gold.

What does a crown do?

• It restores the shape and size of a tooth
• In a heavily filled or weakened tooth, it holds everything together to prevent the tooth from fracturing.
• When the crown is tooth coloured, it restores the appearance of a tooth.
• It covers and protects a tooth that has had a root canal treatment.

Crowns are very carefully coloured to match existing teeth and enhance you smile.

Crowns are a long lasting successful treatment option.
