What is a crown?

A crown is an artificial cap that fits over the remaining part of a natural tooth to improve the strength and appearance of the tooth. They are often used as a final step of root canal treatment to protect the tooth from further damage.

Why would I need a crown?

Crowns help improve the condition of a tooth both cosmetically and functionally and can be used for a variety of reasons:

• Strengethening a tooth weakened by tooth decay

• Improve the appearance of a broken or misshapen tooth

• Provide protection to a tooth as part of rooth canal treatment

• Improve the appearance of a discoloured filling

• To hold a dental bridge or denture firmly in place

What type of crown can I get?

At High Street Dental Clinic we fit porcelain crowns as they are durable and can be made to match the natural shade of your tooth making the crown appear less noticeable.
