A crown is simply a tooth-shaped cover
- similar to a 'thimble'
They are sometimes called caps
Crowns replace the structure of badly damaged teeth
- to help restore function, strength and appearance
Crowns can improve the appearance of teeth
- by changing their shape, size, position and colour
They can cover unsightly fillings
A crown can be fitted over a tooth
or on to a dental implant
Teeth need to be shaped
before crowns can be fitted
Crowns can be made entirely of metal / gold
or porcelain / ceramic
or a combination of materials
David can help remove the dark lines that
can appear around crowns
Crowns are made outside of the mouth
(either by machine or in a laboratory by a dental technician)
David then glues the crowns onto the teeth or implants
It takes great skill and artistry to make a crown that
fits accurately and looks good
David's crowns are individually hand-made
by experienced registered dental technicians
Attention to detail at each step ensures a product that
should last many years
David can help you decide which crowns are right for you
