Why would I need a Dental Crown?

A Dental Crown is used to preserve the function of a damaged tooth. Crowns can be used to protect a cracked tooth, restore the function of a tooth with extensive decay or infection of the root canal, or replace an existing crown.

The reason for a crown is to encase a damaged tooth with custom designed material to strengthen the tooth and reduce tooth loss. If you find yourself needing a crown you will be able to choose the material the crown is made of.

During the crown procedure, your dentist prepares the tooth and makes a moulded impression of the tooth to send to a dental laboratory. A fitted, temporary crown is created during this visit to temporarily protect the tooth while the final restoration is being made in the dental laboratory. Once completed, the crown is bonded at a later visit. This will take 2 visits only.
