The crown of a tooth is the part that’s visible in the mouth (as opposed to the area that sits below the gum line). Replacement crowns protect a tooth that has sustained a notable degree of damage or decay.
Using innovative processes and high-quality materials, you can expect your crown to look natural and resolve damage to teeth or become a part of a custom-made dental bridge, replacing lost teeth.
The crown of a tooth is the part that’s visible in the mouth (as opposed to the area that sits below the gum line). Replacement crowns protect a tooth that has sustained a notable degree of damage or decay.
Crowns involve some of your tooth’s natural structure to be shaved down, as they need to fit over the top whilst being the same thickness as the adjacent teeth. This is carried out under local anaesthetic and digital scans are taken to obtain a model of the damaged tooth and the teeth either side.
The models and the information we gather about the size, shape and colour of your tooth enable the dental technician to produce a crown that’s unique to you.
Crowns are classed as a restorative treatment: their primary function is to address the declining health and condition of a tooth. If you would like to improve cosmetic elements of individual teeth, we may recommend composite bonding and veneers as an alternative.
