Dental Crowns

Do you have an altered tooth due to an accident, a fracture, or a cavity? A dental crown might be the answer.

Reasons to get a crown:

• Broken or fractured teeth
• Aesthetic enhancement
• Decayed teeth
• Broken filling
• Too large to be filled
• Root canal treated tooth

Dental crown placement procedure

A dental crown is the artificial covering of a traumatised tooth. Made of ceramic, it perfectly matches your teeth for a natural look. The procedure is a simple one. Your tooth is cropped and reduced in size to provide room for the dental prosthesis cover.

A dental crown placement requires two visits: the first to shape and file down the tooth, make an impression for a dental crown mould, and place a temporary crown to protect the tooth and conserve your smile. During the second visit, the temporary crown is replaced by your custom-made crown. This is usually a simple and fast procedure.

Dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials. Discuss the best option with your dentist. Despite their durability, crowns must be changed every few years. This type of dental prosthesis will give you a bright and radiant smile.
