A crown is a cap that is placed over a tooth to restore its strength, shape, and function. Crowns are used to protect damaged or fractured teeth, restore teeth with large fillings, safeguard root canal treated teeth, and correct minor cosmetic issues such as spacing, shape, or discolouration. At Panshanger Dental Practice, we provide durable NHS metal crowns as well as private ceramic or porcelain crowns for patients seeking a natural tooth-coloured finish.

A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while the final crown is fabricated.
Final Placement
The completed crown is tried on for fit, bite, and appearance, then securely cemented.
