Restoring the form of a tooth.
A crown is a cap that covers a tooth. Enamel Dental describes porcelain crowns as a restoration for structurally compromised teeth.
A crown can also form part of an implant restoration, providing the visible replacement tooth above the implant.
At your appointment
Ask the dentist to show you what needs restoring and explain why a crown may be considered. Discuss alternatives, material, appearance, appointment stages and care of the finished restoration.
Questions worth bringing
- Why might this tooth need a crown?
- Are there other suitable ways to restore it?
- What should I know about looking after the crown?
YOUR QUESTIONS
About dental crowns
Is a crown the same as a dental implant?
No. A crown is the visible restoration. It may cover a tooth or be used with an implant.
What if I have a gap from a missing tooth?
Ask about replacement options, including a bridge or an implant restoration.
