Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a restorative solution to the following:

• A decayed tooth
• A broken or cracked tooth
• To support a tooth which is predominantly filling
• To support a dental bridge
• To cover crooked or discoloured teeth

1. Preparation of the tooth

• In your first appointment, one of our expert team will take an x-ray of your mouth to assess the root and tooth structure.
• A local anesthetic will then be used if the existing tooth needs to be reshaped to make space for the crown.
• An impression is made of your existing tooth so that the crown can be tailor-made and shaped to suit your tooth and mouth.
• A temporary crown is fitted and placed to protect the existing tooth between appointments.

2. Crown fitting

• You will visit our clinic a second time for your crown fitting.
• Your crown will be permanently cemented in place. We will only fit the crown if you are completely comfortable and happy with the shape, placement and fit of your crown.
