Crowns

A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a tooth that has been weakened, damaged, heavily filled or significantly worn down. It is designed to restore the tooth's shape, strength and function while creating a natural-looking finish that blends with your smile. Crowns may also be recommended after root canal treatment or when there is not enough healthy tooth structure for a conventional filling. At West-Med Majik Forest, your dentist will first assess the tooth and discuss whether a crown is the most appropriate treatment for you. The final material and treatment plan will depend on the position of the tooth, the amount of remaining tooth structure, your bite and the aesthetic result required.

A considered approach to restoring damaged teeth

Your treatment begins with a dental examination to assess the affected tooth, surrounding teeth, gums and bite. Where necessary, X-rays may be taken to understand the condition of the tooth beneath the surface. If a crown is appropriate, the tooth is carefully prepared so the restoration can fit securely over it. An impression or scan is then used to create a crown that matches the required shape and bite. Depending on the treatment plan and laboratory process, a temporary crown may be fitted while the final restoration is being made. At the fitting appointment, the dentist checks the crown's fit, bite and appearance before it is securely cemented in place. Your dentist will explain the planned material and number of appointments before treatment begins.
