Crowns, Bridges, Veneers
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.
