Protection and a new lease of life for badly damaged teeth

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

• 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

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

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

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.

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

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