Dental Crowns in Nolan Hill

A crown covers a tooth to restore its shape and function. A dentist may recommend one for a weakened or extensively restored tooth, or after root canal treatment when indicated. A crown can also form the visible replacement attached to a dental implant.

The amount of healthy tooth remaining, the condition of the tooth and your bite all matter. A crown is not always the most suitable option. Ask why it is being recommended and whether another approach could meet your needs.

Crown treatment generally involves preparing the tooth and fitting a restoration. The number of visits and the material used depend on the treatment plan. Ask about the steps, expected appearance and any temporary measures required.

A crowned tooth still needs cleaning and ongoing dental checks. A crown does not prevent decay around its edges or eliminate gum problems. Contact your dentist if the crown feels loose, your bite changes or discomfort persists.
