If unsightly teeth are spoiling your smile, crowns can offer a neat, natural-coloured solution. Primarily used to protect the tooth structure, they can also conceal chips, discolouration and large fillings.
What is a dental crown?
Sometimes known as ‘caps’, crowns fit completely over a whole tooth, concealing defects caused by chips, decay, discolouration or large fillings. Made from a variety of materials, including metal, resin and ceramic, they can be used to support a dental bridge or affixed to a dental implant. Crowns are also often placed after root canal treatment to protect the tooth structure.
