Crowns

What is it?

A crown is needed when a tooth is badly damaged by decay. It acts like a protective cap that fits over the tooth to restore it to its normal look.

The procedure

The tooth to be crowned is reduced to allow the crown to fit over it Provided both dentist and client are happy, it will be bonded into place.

Cost

From around £300 per tooth - but costs vary enormously.

What can gor wrong?

Sometimes there can be pain or an infection inside the tooth beneath the crown. In this case, root canal treatment is needed. With good oral hygiene, crowns should last for up to 15 years.
