About dental crowns

Dental crowns are commonly recommended for teeth with large fillings, fractures or following root canal treatment, or to improve the appearance of discoloured or misshapen teeth. They are usually fitted over two appointments: first, the tooth is prepared and a digital scan or impression is taken, followed by a temporary crown; at the second visit, the permanent crown is securely bonded in place. Made from a range of modern materials, crowns are designed to look natural, support a healthy bite and protect the tooth for many years with good care.
