Crowns

Crowns are versatile and commonly used in dentistry to strengthen weak teeth, cover a dental implant, protect a tooth from fracture and to tackle discolouration.

Crowns are also referred to as “caps” and are custom-fitting sleeves that sit over an existing tooth. As they are made from ceramic, they effectively mimic the appearance of tooth enamel, fitting in with the aesthetics of your smile.

What to expect when getting a crown

Once we have established your tooth needs a crown, we will take impressions of the tooth that is going to be crowned, so we can create a perfectly fitting restoration. These impressions will be sent away to inform the creation of your crown and sent back to us here at 112 Dental. We will invite you back for a fitting appointment, where the crown will be fitted using a special adhesive material that secures it effectively in place.

The benefits of getting a crown

• Reinforce a tooth that has become damaged or weak.
• Restore a tooth’s ability to handle tougher foods without the risk of damage.
• We create your crown with your unique smile characteristics in mind – no two patients are the same.
• Prevent further damage to your teeth.
• Care for your crown as you would your existing teeth.
