A crown, sometimes known as a ‘cap’ is an ideal restoration for teeth that have extensive tooth loss, are very weak, have a very large filling or have been root treated. Crowns are available in a variety of materials and it is possible to match the shade to your natural teeth.
Please ask your dentist for further information on the options available.
