Crowns are an ideal way to rebuild teeth that have been broken or weakened by decay or a large filling.
The crown fits right over the remaining part of the tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape and contour of a natural tooth.
Crowns are sometimes also known as ‘caps’.
The crown will be made to match your other teeth exactly. The shade of the neighbouring teeth will be recorded to make sure that the colour looks natural and matches the surrounding teeth.
A temporary crown, usually made of plastic, will be fitted at the end of the first appointment and will last until the permanent one is ready.
