Types of Crowns

Crowns are ideal restorations for teeth that have been broken or weakened by decay or by a very large filling.

A crown could be used for a number of other reasons:

• You may have discoloured fillings and would like to improve the appearance of the tooth
• You may have had a root filling, which will require a crown to protect what remains of the tooth.
• It may help hold a bridge or denture firmly in place.

Crowns can be made of Metal/Porcelain, Zirconium/porcelain, or pressed porcelain, which are strong and the most natural materials.

We will prepare the tooth to the ideal shape, take an impression (mould) of the prepared tooth & give it to the dental technician along with an appropriate shade and any other necessary information.

A temporary will be made so that ( mostly for aesthetic reasons). The final restoration is usually back in one week’s time & will be fitted after you and your dentist are happy with its fit and appearance.

Please make an appointment with our dentist in Angel and ask for advice. You will get your beautiful smile back!

Posterior Crown

The tooth is prepared, and a crown is then fabricated and fitted to it.

Bonded Crown

The crown, which has a metal base and porcelain coating, is created.

Anterior Crown

The crown is made of natural-looking, biocompatible porcelain.

Crown Margin

Over time, the gum can recede away from the crown… this is known as the crown margin. The old crown can be removed and a new, deeper crown fitted to cover this area.
