Dental crowns

A dental crown is a type of dental restoration that is used to cover and protect a damaged or decayed tooth. It is a cap-like structure that is placed over the tooth and is used to restore the tooth to its normal shape, size, and function.

Benefits of dental crowns:

There are several reasons why you might need a dental crown:

​

  1. To protect a weak or damaged tooth: A crown can be used to strengthen a tooth that has been damaged by decay, injury or root canal treated.

  2. To support a tooth with a large filling: If a tooth has a large filling, a crown can be used to provide additional support and prevent the tooth from breaking.

  3. To restore a broken tooth: A crown can be used to repair a tooth that has been broken or chipped.

  4. To cover a dental implant: A crown can be used to cover a dental implant, which is a replacement for a missing tooth.

  5. To improve the appearance of a tooth: A crown can be used to improve the appearance of a tooth that is discolored or misshapen.

​

Dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, gold, and composite resin. If you think you may need a dental crown, book your appointment with us at The Lakes clinic to determine the best course of treatment for your individual needs.
