Crowns
The use of crowns for restorative dental treatment can help you to achieve a long term answer to tooth loss or deterioration and the associated problems of shifting and weakness in your oral structure, tooth decay, periodontal disease and bone loss.
Acting as a substitute for the outer layer of your natural teeth, a crown is placed over the area of remaining tooth and acts to strengthen, protect and enhance the functionality and appearance of your mouth. Crowns can be used as an alternative to fillings, where there is very little existing tooth left to support a filling, or as a means to protecting a tooth that has suffered from fracturing or breakage.
Crowns can be made from a variety of materials including precious metals and porcelain for a natural and complementary method of tooth restoration. Porcelain is often the preferred material as it not only reflects the natural translucency of real teeth but is also stain resistant and durable.
Ultimately, crowns can help to rectify a number of oral problems including issues associated with natural bite, stress to the overall mouth, strength and structure of the mouth, tooth decay and also serve to provide you with a beautiful smile for optimum oral health and vitality.
Once we determine that crown treatment is needed, a series of appointments are arranged.
