A crown is a type of dental restoration used to fix teeth that have been broken, weakened by decay or contain a very large filling.

- An impression is taken of the tooth that needs restoring.
- A crown is made in the dental laboratory to fit the tooth precisely and match the neighbouring teeth.
- The tooth is then prepared and the crown fitted securely on top.
A crown may be the ideal solution if you have a tooth that is heavily worn, cracked, structurally weakened, or has a large filling that needs added support. Crowns are custom-made to cover and protect the entire tooth surface, restoring its shape, strength, and natural appearance.
If you’ve had a root canal treatment, a crown is often recommended to protect the treated tooth and ensure it can function comfortably for years to come. Crowns are also commonly used to restore dental implants or to support a bridge when replacing missing teeth.
