Protection and a new lease of life for badly damaged teeth

A crown covers and protects a tooth too damaged to hold a filling, restoring its shape, function and appearance.

What it is

A crown is a custom-made cap that covers the visible part of the tooth. Modern materials allow crowns with a very natural appearance.

Who it's for

  • A tooth with extensive damage or large old fillings
  • A tooth after root canal treatment
  • A broken or cracked tooth
  • A severely worn or misshapen tooth

How treatment works

  1. Assessment and planning
  2. Preparing and shaping the tooth
  3. Impression and a temporary crown
  4. Try-in and cementation of the final crown

Approximate stages

Usually 2–3 visits over 1–3 weeks, depending on the case and laboratory time.

Benefits and limitations

A crown stabilises the tooth and distributes chewing forces. It requires removing tooth structure, so it's recommended only when a more conservative restoration isn't enough.

Alternative options

For smaller defects, composite restorations or inlays/onlays are alternatives. We'll propose the most conservative option suitable for your case.

Aftercare

Care for a crown like a natural tooth — brushing, flossing and regular check-ups. Avoid cracking very hard objects with your teeth.

Treatment suitability and results depend on your individual clinical case and are determined after an examination.
