If you have a damaged, weakened, or heavily restored tooth, a dental crown is the perfect solution to restore strength, function, and aesthetics. At Rudheath Dental Health Centre, we offer high-quality, natural-looking crowns to help protect your teeth while ensuring a seamless, beautiful smile.
What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made, tooth-shaped cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth. It is designed to restore strength, function, and appearance, blending in seamlessly with your natural teeth.
✔ Protects & Strengthens Weakened Teeth
✔ Restores Shape, Size & Function
✔ Custom-Matched to Your Natural Teeth
✔ Long-Lasting, Durable, & Stain-Resistant
Crowns are often recommended for teeth that are broken, heavily filled, or have undergone root canal treatment, providing long-term durability and protection.
Why Might You Need a Crown?
✅ To Strengthen a Weakened or Fractured Tooth – Protect a damaged tooth from further breakage.
✅ After Root Canal Treatment – A crown reinforces and restores strength to the treated tooth.
✅ To Improve the Appearance of a Tooth – Correct discolouration, irregular shape, or size.
✅ To Replace a Large Filling – When a filling is too big to support the tooth, a crown provides a long-term solution.
✅ To Restore a Dental Implant – A crown is placed on top of an implant to replace a missing tooth.
