A crown covers the entire tooth right up to the gum line, so you can’t see any of the natural tooth structure.
There are many reasons why we might recommend a crown. They can be used to hold portions of a cracked tooth together or reinforce a weak tooth that needs to support a neighbouring bridge. A crown is also a beautiful way to cover up the flaws of a badly discoloured or misshapen tooth.

A crown is usually made from porcelain, resin or metal. We will first prepare your tooth so that it is the perfect fit for the crown. Then, fill in any large holes in the tooth and reinforce them if needed. A properly prepared tooth will not decay below the crown, providing the perfect foundation for a long-lasting, beautiful solution.
