A crown is a cap that is placed over a tooth and held in place by dental adhesive or cement.
Crowns can be made from a variety of materials.
They can be made from plastic, ceramic or metal alloys.
A combination of metal and ceramic is also possible to maximise strength and simulate the appearance of natural teeth.
Firstly, a thorough clinical examination is conducted with radiographs, by the dentist.
The suitability for crowns is assessed and any preparatory work is carried out.
Your dentist will advise on material choices, treatment sequence and any other concerns you may have.

The crown of the tooth is made up of the hard, white, enamel layer and a thicker dentine layer.
Both these hard layers protect the innermost soft tissues of the tooth called the pulp.
The dental pulp contains blood vessels and nerves within and extends from the crown to the tips of the root or roots.
Signs of pulp damage may include pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, discoloration of the tooth, swelling, tenderness of the overlying gums or a bad taste in the mouth.
On the other hand, there may be no symptoms at all.
