About Crowns

Protect Your Existing Tooth

A crown is designed to fit over your natural tooth, protecting it while bringing back its strength, shape, and appearance.

Teeth can become compromised for many reasons, including large cavities, cracks, fractures, or after a root canal. When a tooth can no longer be supported with a filling alone, a crown helps hold everything together and allows you to use your tooth comfortably again.

Use Cases

When a Crown May Be Recommended

A crown may be the right solution if a tooth:

  • Has a large filling with little natural structure remaining
  • Is cracked, chipped, or worn down
  • Has been treated with a root canal
  • Needs added protection to prevent further damage
  • Is discoloured or misshaped and you would like to improve its appearance

What a Crown Does

Think of a Crown as a Protective Cover for Your Tooth

It reinforces the structure, restores normal function, and blends in naturally with your smile. Crowns are carefully designed to match the colour and shape of your surrounding teeth, so they look and feel like your own.

What to Expect

The process typically involves preparing the tooth, taking precise measurements, and placing a custom made crown that fits comfortably and securely. Our team will guide you through each step and make sure you feel at ease throughout your visit.
