A crown is a restoration that fits over a tooth to restore its size, shape, strength and/or to improve its appearance.
Each crown is custom made to fit the patient’s exact bite. A crown is designed as a permanent solution to weakened or compromised teeth, or to create a more cosmetically pleasing tooth.
There are many different options for the materials used when making crowns. Porcelain crowns are the most popular as they contain no metal, giving cosmetic advantages over the traditional metal or gold crown. However, your dentist will be able to advise you on the most appropriate material for your crown.
A crown, or dental cap, is a restorative cosmetic treatment which completely covers a tooth or dental implant to help preserve its health. They may be used to repair badly broken or weathered teeth, maintain structure, or to improve the appearance of a patient’s smile.
Crowns are created from impressions taken from the tooth. They can be made from various materials, most often porcelain. They are custom-made to fit a patient’s teeth exactly, and designed as a permanent solution.
Your dentist will be able to advise you on whether crowns are right for your individual smile. There may be alternative treatment which may be more suitable.
Crowns are complex to create and fit, but are well worth the investment in preserving the health and appearance of compromised teeth.
Prices for crowns start from £894.00.
