In its most basic sense, a Crown is a restoration that is placed over the affected tooth to amend its shape, size or strength. They cap or completely cover a tooth and may be used for aesthetic or functional reasons.
Crowns are quite often used to strengthen teeth that have had root canal treatment as these teeth are more brittle and likely to fracture. They may also be used to repair the following oral conditions;
- Excessive grinding of teeth or an improper bite
- An irritable large filling
- Inadequate oral hygiene
- Aging teeth
For many years, traditional metal-based Crowns have been used to strengthen or rebuild teeth. Today, thanks to the latest advancements in Cosmetic Dentistry, Porcelain Crowns are now a highly effective and attractive option. Porcelain Crowns may be made to match the exact colour, texture and translucency as your natural teeth. They look and feel so natural and no one will even know you have them!
