Crowns

Dental crowns, also known as caps, are dental restorations that are placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. They fully encase the visible portion of a tooth above the gum line and are custom-made to match the colour and shape of your natural teeth. Dental crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of materials, depending on your specific needs and preferences.

The process of getting a dental crown typically involves multiple visits to the dentist. During the first visit, the dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay or damage and shaping it to accommodate the crown. An impression of the tooth will be taken to create a custom-made crown that fits appropriately. While waiting for the permanent crown to be fabricated, a temporary crown will be placed to protect the tooth. During the final visit, the temporary crown will be removed and the permanent crown will be cemented into place, ensuring a secure and natural-looking restoration.
