So, you come through tooth decay with a narrow squeak. You’ve had the root canal done and now it’s time to have a crown fitted OR you’ve just come through tooth loss, had an implant placed and now it’s time to have a crown fitted…..we could go on but the point is that a crown is used to replace anything that may have been lost and there is a reason for having one fitted. The way your jaws close together is important to keep true otherwise you will put extra stress on the joints of the jaw and over time, they can fail. There are three basic types to choose from, although if you have the inclination, a dentist will make one up from whatever material you like. Gold and porcelain-over-metal crowns are built for strength, so this would be the probable choice to replace a tooth that has to withstand a lot of work, like chewing or biting. Hence these types would normally be placed at the back of the mouth (gold however, people like to show off and so you will often see them at the front as well). Porcelain looks more natural to the general status quo of the mouth, so when it comes to replacing an incisor, pure porcelain would be used at the front to mirror the rest of your teeth. You will find dentists all over the city of Leeds that can fit them so it’s best to shop around first
