Why a crown may help
A carefully planned crown covers and reinforces the visible part of a tooth, helping restore its appearance and function when a simpler filling is not appropriate.
Your treatment options
Your dentist discusses preparation, materials, digital scanning or impressions, timescales and ongoing maintenance. Not every tooth is suitable for a crown.
Practical steps to remember
- Ask which materials suit your situation
- Clean carefully around the crown margin
- Report looseness or a change in your bite
