Crowns

Crowns are used to cover over, protect and strengthen badly broken down or heavily filled teeth.  They can also be used to mask severe discolouration, correct crooked teeth or restore worn down teeth. The teeth have to be prepared to a specific shape using a dental drill. Crowns are made in the laboratory from a porcelain material or a porcelain and metal combination which is cemented on to the tooth.

The latest type of all porcelain crowns use CAD/CAM technology (computer aided design –computer aided machining) and are extremely strong and have an excellent natural appearance.
