A crown is a restoration of the tooth that covers the whole tooth surface. Crowns (commonly called 'caps') is a custom-made restoration that will protect and strengthen the tooth, that cannot otherwise be achieved with a regular filling. Where a crown encapsulates the the whole tooth, a filling just fills a cavity. If the cavity is very large, the tooth may remain weak and at risk of fracturing. This is especially true with root canal treated teeth.

Reasons For A Crown:

- broken or fractured teeth
- decayed teeth
- cosmetic improvements
- large fillings
- root canal treated teeth

Although, there are several types of crowns, porcelain crowns are the most popular because they resemble natural enamel. Crowns are very durable and can last many years. Like most restorations, they may need eventual replacement.

We utilise the latest porcelain technology, to provide the patient with the most aesthetic and strongest crowns available. They look, feel, and function naturally for many years.
