Crowns

A crown or cap is a lab made replacement for a tooth. It matches the shape, contour, shape and colour of the original tooth. Crowns are made from porcelain and metal,
porcelain only and metal, usually gold.

Procedure - The dentist will numb the tooth and remove tooth in order to make room for the crown to be fitted. An impression is taken and then sent to the lab.
A temporary crown is made until the new crown comes back from the lab.

Benefit - A crown can strengthen the remainder of the tooth. It will look and feel exactly like a natural tooth. Crowns can last a long time if properly looked after. Crowns can be used where teeth are missing, misshaped or discoloured. View following cases.
