crowns

Used where teeth are heavily filled or badly broken down - unlike veneers, crowns cover all surfaces of the tooth. This treatment involves shaping of the original tooth so that a crown will fit over it, the taking of impressions and making the crown at the laboratory. Crowns can be made from porcelain bonded to white gold, totally out of porcelain or the newer zirconium based crowns. These new all ceramic crowns are equally as strong as the metal based crowns and having no metal in them they are much more natural looking and do not leave a black line at the gum margin as seen in so many conventional metal based crowns. Our time to make a crown for you is included in your Denplan care scheme leaving you to pay the laboratory bill only.   View our treatment costs
