Crowns are an option that provides full coverage, which completely encases your natural tooth. The crown looks feels and functions like a natural tooth, whilst offering complete protection and strength for a tooth that has damage and needs protection.
A crown may be suggested if your tooth has:
- Minimal tooth structure remaining
- A large cavity
- Large fractures
- Has had root canal therapy
Impression moulds of your teeth are taken to ensure that the crown being created fits your mouth perfectly, so as to keep your bite at the correct angle making sure your new crown does not conflict with your remaining natural teeth.
