Dental crowns can be used and may be necessary in the following situations.

• When a broken tooth has to be protected, they can hold parts of a broken tooth together.
• To restore worn down or broken teeth
• If a broken tooth has to be supported, for example in case of a filling
• To hold dental bridges in place
• If you have dental implants, they are always covered with crowns.

As with any dental surgery, there can be discomfort. Anaesthetic and patient sedation are always used as appropriate to eliminate discomfort. Our doctors can prescribe medication to ease any discomfort that may occur during recovery. You can also be assured that we will take special care to stay in contact with you after the surgery. This is the best way to be sure that you remain comfortable and informed about your surgery 

Dental crowns are not recommended or not suitable in the following cases:

• When an underlying tooth requires a filling, root canal work  or other treatment which is still outstanding. 
•  When the tooth or jaw structure is weak and requires repair.
