A crown is an artificial restoration that fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape of a natural tooth.
​
A crown is sometimes known as a ‘cap’. Crowns are an ideal restoration for teeth that have been broken, or have been weakened by decay or a very large filling. They can be made of porcelain or gold or a combination of these materials.
A dental crown could be used for a number of other reasons, for instance:
​
-
you may have discoloured fillings and 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.
1.
An impression is taken of the tooth that needs restoring.
2.
A crown is made in the dental laboratory to fit the tooth precisely and match the neighbouring teeth.
3.
The tooth is then prepared and the crown fitted securely on top.
