Dental crowns are used to protect and restore teeth that are weakened, heavily filled or damaged. They act as a protective covering that strengthens the tooth while improving its appearance.
At Henry Road Dental Practice, your dentist will assess the affected tooth and explain whether a crown is the most suitable option for you. Crowns may be recommended when a tooth has suffered extensive decay, fracture or wear, or after root canal treatment where extra strength and protection are needed.
The tooth is carefully shaped and impressions are taken to create a crown that fits precisely. Once fitted, the crown restores normal function, allowing you to chew comfortably while protecting the underlying tooth from further damage.
With proper care, crowns can provide a durable and long-lasting solution. Your dentist will also advise you on how to look after your crown and maintain the health of the surrounding teeth and gums.
Dental crowns help protect weakened teeth, restore function and improve the appearance of your smile.
Crowns are often used when a tooth has large areas of decay, has been heavily restored or needs additional protection after treatment.
A crown may be recommended if a tooth is weakened, heavily filled, cracked, worn or damaged. It can also be used after root canal treatment to help protect and strengthen the tooth.
Your dentist will carefully shape the tooth and take impressions so the crown can be made to fit precisely. Once ready, the crown is fitted over the tooth to restore strength, function and appearance.
Crowns are designed to fit your mouth and blend as naturally as possible with your smile. Your dentist will discuss suitable material and appearance options with you.
With good oral care and regular dental check-ups, crowns can last for many years. Your dentist will monitor your crown during routine appointments.
Brush twice daily, clean between the teeth and attend regular dental check-ups. Good daily care helps protect both the crown and the natural tooth structure underneath.
