Crowns & Bridges
|
A crown is a restoration that covers, or caps, a tooth
entirely to restore it to a healthy shape and size. Its purpose is to strengthen or improve the appearance of a
tooth. Porcelain crowns are strong, long lasting and they look great. Virtually
indistinguishable from your natural teeth, crowns restore function and
aesthetically enhance your smile by fitting well over a tooth.
A crown is
necessary when a tooth is in poor condition. This is the case when a tooth
starts to crack, break or is decayed or diseased.
These conditions could be due to:
One of our
main goals is to create crowns and veneers that look like natural teeth. To
achieve this, a number of factors are considered such as the colour, occlusion,
shape and length of both your natural teeth and the artificial crown. Any one
of these factors alone can significantly affect your appearance. A number of
different materials can be used to produce a crown, and these will be discussed
with you at the time of treatment planning.
