Crowns are an ideal way to rebuild teeth which have been broken, or have been weakened by decay or a very large filling. The crown fits right over the remaining part of the tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape and contour of a natural tooth.

Replacement of discoloured large fillings.

Porcelain bonded to gold: It appears that this would be the most expensive option, however this is the cheapest. This can be used everywhere in the mouth, best used on Molars as it is very strong but does not have the most natural appearance.
Porcelain and composite: Not as strong as bonded crowns, but they can look very natural and are most often used for front teeth.
Zirconium: Look very natural and are used on both front and back teeth as is very strong but has the best astheic appearance.

The dentist removes the outer surface of the tooth to the ideal shape for the crown. The dentist will take an impression of the prepared tooth, The impressions will be given to the technician and with the latest computer techonology they will prepare the crown from the chosen material.

Properly cared for crowns will last for many years your dentist will be able to tell you how long. We give a three year guarantee for Crowns.

A veneer may be an alternative to having a crown if the damage of the tooth is only minimal. Your dentist will advise you of any suitable alternatives.
