A crown is a cap or covering for a tooth. It is used when your tooth is:

• discoloured
• cracked or broken
• heavily filled or if fillings have been lost.

Unlike removeable devices such as dentures, which you can take out and clean daily, crowns and bridges are cemented onto existing teeth or implants, and can only be removed by a dentist.

A crown is used to entirely cover or “cap” a damaged tooth.

There are many different types of crowns available from St Mark Dental Clinic. Your dentist will advise the best option depending on the location of the crown.

They may recommend:

• Zirconia Crowns
• E-MAX Crowns
• All Porcelain Crowns
• Porcelain Fused-to-Metal Crowns (PFM)

Our dentists use their expertise and modern technology to match the new crown to the shape of your existing teeth and their colour.
