The concernUnderstanding the problem
A tooth weakened by decay, fracture, wear or a large old filling may need more protection than a simple filling can provide. The tooth, gums and bite must be assessed first.
The approachHow treatment is planned
A crown or cap is a custom restoration designed to protect and restore a damaged tooth. The material, preparation and final shape are selected around tooth structure, bite and cosmetic requirements.
Technology and planningClinical precision first
Clinical examination, dental imaging, shade assessment and digital or conventional impressions can be used to plan the fit, bite and appearance of the final restoration.
Recovery and aftercareWhat to plan for
Temporary sensitivity is possible after preparation. Follow the advice for temporary-crown care, chewing, cleaning and review before the final restoration is fitted.
Risks and suitabilityA responsible decision
Crowns can chip, loosen, develop edge leakage or require replacement. Underlying teeth can also need future treatment, including root canal therapy, if the nerve is affected.
