A dental crown helps protect and strengthen a tooth that has lost its stability or shape. If you have a damaged or weakened tooth, a crown can restore comfort and enhance the tooth's function.
Crowns made at the Centre for Advanced Dentistry & Implantology are designed to feel secure, look natural, and help you maintain a healthy, balanced smile.
What is a dental crown?
A dental crown, also known as a cap, is a custom-made covering that fits over the visible part of your tooth. It restores the tooth's shape, stability, and appearance while preserving its foundation.
A crown is designed to encapsulate and protect the remaining tooth structure. This helps maintain function and prevents further weakening.
When are dental crowns recommended?
A dental crown may be recommended if you are looking to:
- Protect a tooth that has lost strength
- Restore a tooth affected by damage
- Support a tooth after root canal treatment
- Refine the shape and stability of a tooth
By covering the tooth fully, the crown adds strength and stability.
What are the benefits?
A crown helps bring strength and balance back to a damaged tooth. Once fitted, it allows you to bite and chew comfortably again while keeping the tooth protected for the long term. It also restores a natural look, blending seamlessly with your other teeth to create a complete and even smile.
What can you expect during treatment?
Your crown treatment follows a clear, structured process:
Assessment: Your dentist examines the tooth and takes digital scans to plan the most suitable crown.
Preparation: The tooth is shaped to create a secure base for the crown.
Crown design: A custom crown is created to match your bite and natural shade.
Placement: The crown is adjusted and fitted into place to achieve a comfortable and stable result.
Most patients at the Centre for Advanced Dentistry & Implantology return to their usual routine shortly after treatment.
