Dental Crowns
If a tooth is cracked, weakened after a root canal, or has a large filling, a dental crown can protect it and restore its strength.
What are Dental Crowns?
A crown is a custom-made cap that fits over your tooth, giving it back its shape and natural appearance. We take impressions to ensure a perfect fit and colour-match the crown to your existing teeth. This treatment is carried out comfortably with local anaesthetic, and any mild sensitivity soon settles. With a dental crown, it won’t be long until you’re biting, chewing and smiling with confidence again.
Depending on your needs, we may also recommend veneers for cosmetic improvements, dental bridges to replace missing teeth, or fillings for smaller areas of decay.
