At Nuvo Dental Centre, we can provide a dental crown to repair and protect a heavily filled/broken down or cracked tooth from further damage. Acting like a kind of cap, a crown sits over the natural tooth, restoring it to function, repairing the structure of the tooth and preventing further damage from occurring.
We might recommend a crown to repair a tooth that has become damaged in some way. This is usually because of extensive decay, or injury or trauma to the tooth. Crowns can also be used with another treatment to ensure the function of the tooth is fully restored, such as a root canal treatment, bridge, or a tooth with a large filling. In some cases, a crown might also be used to address minor issues such as chips, gaps, or discoloration.
Traditionally, crowns have been made of a precious metal such as gold, although modern crowns tend to be made of non-precious metals, precious metals or ceramics. Ceramic crowns can be matched more realistically to the natural colour of the teeth, ensuring a subtle, and aesthetically pleasing tooth for the patient.
Receiving a crown usually takes two or more appointments. At the first appointment, we’ll prepare the tooth in question, reshaping it to accept the crown and taking digital scans which will be sent to a dental laboratory where the crown will be made.
Once the crown has been made, you’ll come back to Nuvo Dental Centre to have it fitted. We’ll make sure the bite and fit are correct and then cement it into place so that you’ll leave the practice with a fully functioning tooth and a happy smile once again.
