Strength you can chew on, finish you can smile with.
When a tooth is cracked, heavily filled, or has had root canal treatment, a crown wraps it completely — restoring strength while matching the shape and shade of the teeth around it. Modern materials mean a restoration no longer has to announce itself.
A crown protects a weakened tooth from further fracture, which is almost always better than replacing it.
Chew normally again. A well-fitted crown handles the same load as the tooth it covers.
The material is chosen and layered to match your neighbouring teeth, not a generic white.
We confirm the tooth is restorable and choose the right material for its position and load.
The tooth is shaped and an accurate impression or digital scan is taken.
You leave with a temporary so you can eat and smile normally while the final one is made.
The final crown is checked for fit, bite, and shade, then cemented.
Before and after, from our own chair.
A discolored, dead central tooth and heavy staining across the front teeth stood out in every photo. Because the teeth themselves were damaged rather than simply dull, crowns — not veneers — were the right answer: each tooth was prepared and capped, correcting colour and shape together.
A wide gap between the central teeth, crowding on both sides and years of staining made this smile look older than the patient. Crowns were used rather than veneers because the alignment itself had to change: each tooth was prepared, the spacing was redesigned, and the arch was closed into one even line.
Severe decay had broken down most of the front teeth, some down to dark, damaged stumps. A full reconstruction with crowns rebuilt the entire smile from the ground up — a dramatic change in both health and confidence.
A veneer covers only the front surface and is cosmetic. A crown covers the whole tooth and is structural — it is what you need when the tooth itself is weakened.
Exactly like a natural tooth: brush twice daily, floss around it, and keep your regular check-ups.
