Crowns
WHAT ARE DENTAL CROWNS?
A Dental Crown is cap placed over a tooth used to cover and protect a natural tooth. They can be used to protect damaged teeth and improve the appearance of teeth. Once a dental crown is fitted over the affected tooth it acts like a helmet (cap) protecting it from further damage. They are held in place with strong cements and can last many years with the correct oral hygiene.
Common indications for Dental Crowns
- As a protective cover for badly decayed or fractured teeth
- As a definitive restoration for teeth with large fillings thereby providing additional strength to the tooth.
- To correct minor problems in natural teeth such as spacing and irregular shape or severe discolouration.
- To cover a dental implant, a solution for missing teeth.
Types of dental crowns and materials
Crowns can be made from a variety of materials. They can be made from plastic, ceramic or metal alloys. A combination of metal and ceramic is also possible to maximise strength and simulate the appearance of natural teeth. Every case is different and your dentist will advise on which material is best suited for your tooth.
