If your tooth is damaged, weakened or flawed you may require a crown, often called a ‘cap.’ This acts as a protective shield, strengthening your tooth and restoring your smile.
A dental crown is custom-made by a dental laboratory to fit over the entire tooth, restoring the tooth to its original size, shape, and function, so that your tooth is fully functional.
Dental crowns can be made of a variety of different materials. Your dentist will take the time to discuss the available options to help you understand which is the right choice for you.
Why are crowns needed?
- Large fillings that need support
- Cover a misshapen tooth
- Provide strength to a fractured or weak tooth
- Anchor a dental bridge
- Stabilise and protect teeth after a root canal
- Cover a dental implant
- Cosmetically enhance a stained smile
