Dental Crowns

Dental Crowns

If you have a tooth that’s damaged, fractured, injured or decayed to the extent that a filling won’t be enough, your dentist will recommend a dental crown. Crowns can also improve the appearance of teeth that are discoloured or misshapen. For patients who have had root canal treatment, a crown can protect the tooth. Crowns, because of their colour and shape are unnoticeable as they look very much like your other teeth.

Following your consultation with your dentist at Indigo Dental Practice, you will be able to make an informed decision on the best type of crown treatment for you. There are two primary types of crowns, temporary or permanent. Some of your tooth structure may have to be removed to ensure a proper fit. A temporary crown or cap can provide you with protection in the short term while permanent ones may last for years.
