Crowns
A crown is an artificial restoration that fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape of a natural tooth. A crown is sometimes known as a ‘cap’. Crowns are an ideal restoration for teeth that have been broken or have been weakened by decay or a very large filling. A crown could be used for a number of other reasons, for instance:
• You may have discoloured fillings and would like to improve the appearance of the tooth.
• You may have a root filling which may need a crown to protect what is left of the tooth.
• It may help hold a bridge or denture firmly in place.
