Dental Treatment

Crowns

Crowns completely cover a weak tooth above the gum line and protect it. Crowns are made of metal or porcelain, or porcelain with metal inside for strength.

What are the benefits?

  • A crown is strong and can look and feel exactly like a natural tooth. The colour and shape can be matched to your own teeth.

  • Depending on the strength of the tooth underneath, a crown can last for many years if you look after your mouth and teeth and the crown is not accidentally damaged.

  • Crowns can also improve the appearance of misshapen or discoloured teeth.

What are the potential problems?

Unfortunately, there is always a small risk when a tooth is crowned that it will die and later require a Root filling.
