Dental Crowns

“Just started treatment for crowns and a bridge. Mr Sutton gives you confidence that the end result will be good. I have several temporary teeth at front which I have to keep in for 3 or 4 months until my gum heals. Even these look good though I was worried they would be awful. Not looking forward to a 4 hour appointment to fix crowns but I am sure Mr Sutton will make me as comfortable as possible.”

A crown is a type of dental restoration used to fix teeth that have been broken, weakened by decay or contain a very large filling.

Here is how it works:

  1. An impression is taken of the tooth that needs restoring.
  2. A crown is made in the dental laboratory to fit the tooth precisely and match the neighbouring teeth.
  3. The tooth is then prepared and the crown fitted securely on top.

A crown could be a good solution for you if you have some discoloured fillings and would like to improve their appearance. Crowns can be used to replace these to give you a more appealing smile. Additionally, if you have had root canal treatment you will need a crown to protect or cap the restored tooth, allowing you to eat and bite down on it as if it was a real tooth. Crowns are also used to anchor a bridge or denture firmly in place in the mouth.
