Dental Crowns

Restoring strength, shape and confidence to damaged teeth.

← Back to Restorative Dentistry

A crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged tooth. It restores the tooth's shape and strength, and protects it from further damage.

If your dentist recommends a crown, we'll explain why and what to expect.

Why patients choose this treatment

Strength

A crown covers and protects a tooth that is cracked, worn or weakened.

A natural look

Crowns are shaped and shaded to blend with your other teeth.

Helps you chew

Restoring the tooth helps it work normally again.

Protects the tooth
