Crowns can help to save teeth that are damaged or decayed.
Designed to blend with natural teeth, crowns can restore a patient’s ability to chew and speak properly while also improving the appearance of their smile.
What is a crown?
Typically crafted from porcelain or metal (or a blend of both), crowns are basically a tooth-shaped cap. They are fitted over the remains of damaged or decayed teeth and can remedy problems caused by missing teeth.
What are the benefits of having a crown?
Crowns reinforce teeth that have been damaged in some way. They restore strength and function to such teeth while also improving aesthetics by restoring size and shape.
Does having a crown hurt?
For a crown to be fitted, your dentist will first have to prepare what remains of the damaged tooth. The tooth may need to be shaped, with a mould then taken to make sure the crown is a perfect fit. Local anaesthetic is used to minimise discomfort, with the procedure often described as feeling similar to having a filling.
How long will a crown last?
With correct care, crowns can last for many years before they need replacing.
