If a tooth is badly broken down as a result of decay or trauma, it may not be possible to build it up again using a filling. In this case it may be better to restore the tooth using a crown.

A crown is an artificial tooth which is attached to the remnants of a natural one. Teeth that are severely discoloured or out of position can also be improved by crowning.

Placing a crown requires the removal of quite a lot of natural tooth tissue so whenever possible we would rather place a veneer. These are rather like false finger nails and are carefully bonded to the surface of a natural tooth to mask imperfections in the enamel or improve the position and appearance. Veneers often require much less preparation of the natural tooth tissue and so preserve much more of what nature gave you.

Your crowns and veneers will be carefully crafted by our technicians who have many years experience in the art of dental ceramics and access to the most technologically advanced materials available. This enables them to achieve beautiful results for you, with long-lasting crowns and veneers so natural even the experts have trouble telling the difference! .
