Dental Crowns in Horley

Dental crowns, commonly referred to as “caps”, represent a versatile and essential component of modern dentistry. These custom-made prosthetic devices serve a multifaceted role, meticulously crafted to address a variety of dental concerns while restoring both the form and function of damaged or decayed teeth.

Dental crowns encapsulate the tooth like a protective shield, providing comprehensive coverage and support. Their design encompasses the entirety of the visible tooth structure, extending from the gum line to the chewing surface, ensuring a seamless blend with the natural dentition.

The placement of a dental crown

The placement of a dental crown typically involves multiple stages, beginning with an initial consultation and examination to assess the tooth’s condition and discuss treatment options. The tooth is then prepared by removing any decayed or damaged tissue and reshaping its surface to accommodate the crown. Impressions of the prepared tooth and surrounding structures are taken to ensure precise fabrication of the crown. In the interim period, a temporary crown may be placed to protect the tooth until the permanent restoration is ready.

Once the final crown is fabricated, it is meticulously adjusted and bonded into place, ensuring a snug fit and optimal alignment with the adjacent teeth. With proper care and maintenance, dental crowns can provide lasting support and functionality, enabling patients to enjoy a restored smile for years to come.

Dental Crowns: Why You Might Need Them

Dental crowns are a versatile and effective solution to restore both the function and appearance of damaged teeth. At Horley & Gatwick Dental Centre, we offer custom-made dental crowns that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring a strong and long-lasting restoration.

To Protect a Damaged Tooth: If your tooth is cracked, broken, or weakened due to decay, a dental crown can provide protection and prevent further damage, restoring its full functionality.
Following Root Canal Treatment: After a root canal, a tooth can become fragile. A crown is often recommended to strengthen and protect the treated tooth.
For Aesthetic Improvement: Crowns are a great option if you want to improve the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth. Our crowns are made from high-quality materials that mimic the natural look of teeth, giving you a beautiful, healthy smile.
To Restore a Dental Implant: Crowns are commonly used to top dental implants, replacing missing teeth with a natural-looking and functional solution.
To Support a Large Filling: When a tooth has a large filling, a crown may be necessary to support the remaining structure and prevent breakage.

Dental crowns serve as a crucial restorative solution in various scenarios, including:

Decay and Damage

Imagine a scenario where a tooth is significantly affected by decay or damage, such as fractures or large cavities. In such cases, a dental crown steps in as a reliable solution, providing structural reinforcement and protection. By encasing the damaged tooth, the crown acts as a shield, halting further deterioration and restoring the tooth’s strength and functionality.

Trauma

Teeth that have endured trauma due to accidents or injuries often require additional support to withstand the pressures of everyday use. A dental crown offers the necessary strength and stability to these compromised teeth, enabling them to withstand the forces of biting and chewing without succumbing to further damage.

Root Canal Therapy

Following root canal therapy, where infected or damaged pulp tissue is removed from within the tooth, the tooth may be left vulnerable and in need of reinforcement. A dental crown is frequently employed in such cases to seal and fortify the treated tooth. By providing a protective barrier, the crown ensures the integrity of the tooth is preserved, allowing for normal function and longevity.

Cosmetic Enhancement

Beyond its functional role, a dental crown can also serve as a tool for cosmetic enhancement. Teeth marred by discoloration, misalignment, or irregularities in shape and size can be transformed through the application of crowns. By concealing imperfections and enhancing symmetry, crowns contribute to the creation of a more aesthetically pleasing smile, boosting confidence and self-esteem.
