A dental crown is a covering to strengthen a tooth damaged by large fillings, cracks or decay. Made out of ceramic or gold, a crown aims to replicate the natural strength and contours of a perfect tooth, reducing the risk of tooth fracture.

​

To make a crown, your dentist will remove any decay or broken fillings, to get back to solid tooth. Then, after smoothing any sharp edges, your dentist will ensure that there is 1-2mm of space available between the top and bottom teeth, to create enough thickness for the crown.

​

At Smile Centre we use CEREC machines, the latest modern technology to create ceramic fillings and crowns in one appointment.
