About crowns
Crowns are restorations used to bolster weakened and injured teeth. They are sometimes referred to as caps because they sit on top of the existing tooth structure. There are various reasons why you may need a crown, including:
- dental injury, such as a broken tooth
- severe decay
- dental infection (usually placed following root canal treatment)
- dental implant treatment to replace a missing tooth
Crown treatment
Every crown is custom-made based on an impression of the patient’s tooth. This ensures a perfect and comfortable fit and seamless aesthetics. Before treatment, the tooth is prepared. This process is designed to remove any decayed or damaged tooth tissue and shape the tooth ready for the crown. Making the impression involves using dental putty to form a mould of the teeth. This is then sent away to the laboratory, where it will be used by dental technicians to create the new crown. Once the crown has been sent back to us, we can then fit it. The crown is placed over the remaining tooth structure and then secured.
The benefits of porcelain crowns
Porcelain crowns are a highly effective means of strengthening a weak or decayed tooth without detracting from the beauty of the smile. Porcelain blends in with the natural tooth shade and has a stunning glossy finish. By placing a crown, you also reduce the risk of further injury to the tooth. Crowns are durable and they should last for up to 10 years. The process is simple and there’s no pain to worry about. Crowns have amazing restorative benefits, but they can also improve the look of a damaged tooth, and this may also increase your confidence.
