A crown, commonly known as a ‘Cap’, is an artificial restoration that fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it stronger and giving it the shape of a natural tooth.
Crowns are an ideal restoration for teeth that have broken, or have been weakened by decay or a very large filling. They can be made of porcelain, ceramic or gold.
A dental crown could be used for a number of other reasons, for instance:
- You may have discoloured fillings and would like to improve the appearance of the tooth.
- You may have had a root filling which will need a crown to protect it as these teeth can be more brittle. It may help hold a bridge or denture firmly in place.
