Dental Crowns in Iffley

A crown is a type of dental restoration used to fix teeth that have been broken, weakened by decay or contain a very large filling.

1. The tooth that needs restoring is prepared and an impression is then taken of the tooth. A temporary crown is placed on the tooth in the meantime.
2. The impression is then sent to a dental laboratory where a crown is made. The crown may be tooth-coloured or metal (silver/gold coloured) for back teeth.
3. The temporary crown is removed and the lab-made crown is fitted securely on top. A crown could be a good solution for you if you have some discoloured fillings and would like to improve their appearance. Crowns can be used to replace these to give you a more appealing smile. Additionally, if you have had root canal treatment you will need a crown to protect or cap the restored tooth, allowing you to eat and bite down on it as if it was a real tooth. Crowns are also used to anchor a bridge or denture firmly in place in the mouth.
