A dental crown is needed when a tooth is badly broken down, ie large or worn-out fillings or a large amount of decay. With old technology, dental crowns were commonly made with a metal foundation: although these are strong, they can often look dull and lifeless and it is common for the metal to show as grey around the gumline. Today, we are able to offer all ceramic metal free crowns which are beautiful and natural looking: these are the treatment of choice for teeth which show in your smile. New bonding technology allows us to bond the crown to your tooth so that they become one unit: almost like an enamel replacement..
