A crown is an artificial restoration that fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape of a natural tooth.
A crown is sometimes known as a ‘cap’. Crowns are an ideal restoration for teeth that have been broken, or have been weakened by decay or a very large filling. They can be made of porcelain or gold or a combination of these materials.

A dental crown could be used for a number of other reasons, for instance:
|
- We offer all types of crowns available; keeping up to date with latest materials and techniques we offer the latest ALL PORCELAIN (METAL FREE) CROWNS
- We offer LAVA AND ZIRCONIA CROWNS - made from a ceramic material similar to the natural ceramic of your teeth giving a natural appearance.
- Unlike conventional crowns with the metal based, cores lava restorations contain no metal, so you will see no dark lines where your teeth meet the gum
- Porcelain crowns can avoid red and swollen gums, which can be caused by allergies to metal crowns.
