Dental Crowns
What is a crown?
A crown is an artificial restoration that is made to fit over existing teeth in order to protect them or improve their cosmetic appearance. They are an ideal restoration for teeth that have been broken, weakened by decay or when the tooth has a very large filling. Crowns also give protection after a root canal treatment. They are made at the dental laboratory from porcelain or gold or a combination of these materials.
The procedure
The crown treatment is usually carried out over two appointments. At the first, the tooth is prepared and impressions taken, which is sent to the dental laboratory. A temporary crown is fitted to protect the tooth whilst the crown is constructed.
At your second appointment, the crown is ‘tried in’, ensuring that it fits properly, looks aesthetically pleasing, and then finally cemented firmly into place.
