Crown

Crowns can be an appropriate solution for patients suffering from fractured, chipped or sensitive teeth. It is in essence a cap' that covers the natural tooth and forms a protective barrier and provides a more aesthetically pleasing look. A crown is not appropriate for everyone, it is recommended by our professionals in the following unique cases:

A tooth in which the filling is in fact larger than the natural tooth left. In certain cases the tooth can become weakened and a crown can offer protection and increased strength. As such it is often recommended in cases of extensive tooth decay where a filling would leave very little natural tooth.

A crown can be used to mask discolorations and chipped teeth to improve the overall look of your smile. We specifically recommend crowns to patients after undergoing a root canal treatment. After such a procedure teeth are usually compromised and prone to chipping and breaking. A crown will offer the rigidity and protection needed to continue using the tooth as normal.

When bridges are used the adjacent teeth need to be protected by a crown to offer the support the bridge requires. Different materials are used to construct crowns; whether you require a full porcelain crown or an all metal crown. This decision can be individually determined with you based on your unique needs and dental concerns..

Crowns can be of great benefit to certain patients. Half Dental invites you to make a consultation and determine if a crown is the right solution for you!
