Crowns and Bridges
Our dentists may recommend a dental crown in various situations to protect and restore your tooth's function and appearance. A crown is a custom-made 'cap' that covers the entire visible portion of your tooth, providing strength, improving its shape, and restoring function.
We typically suggest a dental crown in the following scenarios:
- After root canal treatment — A crown helps protect the treated tooth from further damage or infection.
- For severely decayed teeth — When a large filling isn't sufficient to restore the tooth, a crown can provide better protection and stability.
- To support a dental bridge — Crowns anchor a bridge securely to adjacent teeth.
- For cracked or weakened teeth — A crown can hold parts of a cracked tooth together and prevent further damage.
- To cover misshapen or severely discoloured teeth — Crowns can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile.
- To restore a dental implant — A crown is the implant's visible 'tooth' portion.
- For teeth ground down from bruxism — Crowns can restore the height and function of worn teeth.
