Tooth crown procedures at our surgery in Dudley
Whether your teeth are cracked or broken down due to age or decay, dental crowns can be used to improve the appearance of your smile. Covering the visible surface of the affected tooth, crowns add strength, durability and stability. Typically used when the affected area is too large for a filling, tooth crowns are a simple and highly effective dental treatment.
Developments in modern dentistry enable porcelain crowns to be fitted, giving a completely natural appearance. Our dentists will discuss the procedures and materials with you, finding a solution that best matches the colour of your teeth.
Tooth crown procedures
Following an initial consultation, our dentists will take an impression of your teeth, used to create the crown. Preliminary restoration of your tooth may be required before the crown is fitted.
Tooth crowns typically last between 10 and 15 years. Made to match the original colour and shape of your teeth, crowns will instantly improve tooth stability and appearance.
Tooth crowns are designed to:
Strengthen broken-down teeth
Improve the appearance of your smile
Help hold a bridge or denture firmly in place
Improve the appearance for discoloured teeth
There are a variety of tooth crowns available, typically made from metal, porcelain or a combination of the two.
Our dentists will provide expert advice on the material best suited for your teeth.
