Crowns

Crowns

Dental crowns add strength and protect your natural teeth if they have been weakened by decay, damaged or broken.

At St. Michael’s Dental Care, we offer dental crowns made from a variety of materials – including ceramic crowns which blend in with your natural tooth colour and are virtually impossible to detect.

A crown is a restorative dental treatment and has various functions, these include:

• Strengthening a damaged tooth
• Protecting a tooth from further damage
• Protecting a tooth that has had root canal treatment
• Supporting traditional dental bridges

Each dental crown is individually made for you and fitted to last. We will take impressions the natural teeth so our laboratory technicians can create the exact size and shape of crown you require. Once this fixed restoration has been fitted, it can only be removed by a dental professional – it is therefore a strong and resilient solution for lost teeth. The affected tooth will be carefully prepared by the dentist before the crown is cemented into place.

Dental crowns can last for many years if you maintain a positive oral home care routine.
