Crowns
A crown is where a single tooth is strengthened by shaping the remaining natural tooth to allow a custom made, laboratory manufactured ‘cap’ to fit directly onto the natural tooth underneath and completely encircle it to add strength and improve appearance. They are usually made of metal or porcelain but are made to suit individual requirements, and your dentist will discuss the most suitable options with you.
Types of crowns include porcelain bonded to metal, E-max, all zirconia, 3m lava, or an all metal restoration for situations requiring particular strength.
