Treatments
Crowns and aesthetic restorations
A crown covers a tooth to restore its shape and function. Partial restorations may be considered depending on the remaining tooth structure.
When is it considered?
A weakened, worn or previously restored tooth requiring appropriate protection and reconstruction.
The assessment
Assessment considers remaining tooth structure, gums and tooth contacts. Photographs, scans or radiographs may be added where appropriate.
Treatment stages
The choice considers the condition of the tooth, chewing and aesthetics. Preparation, try-ins and placement follow an individual plan.
Points to discuss
Required preparation, possible partial restorations and tooth condition guide the choice. Materials are selected for the individual plan.
Care and follow-up
Brushing, interdental cleaning and regular reviews remain necessary. Night-time protection may be discussed where appropriate.
