A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fits over a prepared tooth.
It is designed to restore the tooth's shape, strength and function while helping protect it from further damage.
Crowns are carefully made to blend with your other teeth for a natural look.

Our aim is to provide a restoration that functions well, looks natural and supports the long-term health of the tooth.

The lifespan of a crown varies depending on the material used, oral hygiene habits and ongoing maintenance. During your consultation, we'll discuss what you can realistically expect from treatment.

A crown covers the entire visible portion of the tooth and is often used when additional strength and protection are required.
