Details.
A tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size and strength, and improve its appearance. Crowns can restore broken or severely worn teeth, hold together parts of a cracked tooth, cover misshapen or discoloured teeth, and help hold a dental bridge in place. The treatment involves preparing the existing tooth and taking an impression to create a tailored crown. Available materials include base metal alloy, ceramic, porcelain-fused to metal, stainless steel, metal titanium, resin and gold alloy. Your dentist will discuss the options most suited to your needs.
