Description:
Dental crowns are custom-made caps placed over damaged or weakened teeth to restore their strength, shape, and appearance. They are commonly used when a tooth is severely decayed, cracked, or weakened after procedures such as root canal treatment.
At First Dental, our dental crowns are carefully designed to match the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth. This ensures a comfortable fit and a natural-looking smile while protecting the underlying tooth structure.
Crowns help restore normal chewing function and prevent further damage to the tooth. With proper care and regular dental checkups, dental crowns can last many years and provide long-term protection for your teeth.
Treatment:
What happens during a dental exam?
During your appointment, the dentist will examine the damaged tooth and determine whether a dental crown is the best solution. X-rays may be taken to evaluate the condition of the tooth and surrounding structures.
If a crown is required, the tooth will be carefully prepared and shaped to ensure the crown fits securely. A custom crown is then created to match your natural teeth in colour and appearance.
Once ready, the crown is securely placed over the tooth, restoring its strength, function, and natural look. After the procedure, our dentist will provide advice on maintaining your crown and keeping your teeth healthy.
