Crowns

Crowns are designed to protect badly broken teeth, and we recommend them when a filling wont be strong enough, or for teeth that are already badly broken, especially if they have an existing root canal filling.

Previously most crowns were made of metal or had a metal skeletons to them. These in the long term can cause black lines at the top of the crowns and darkening of the gums. The vast majority of our patients now opt for modern materials such as Emax (porcelain) or Zirconia, which are incredibly strong and when we custom paint them are  very aesthetic. These teeth blend in with natural teeth, and completely revitalise their appearance.
