27 High StreetA crown is an artificial restoration that fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape of a natural tooth.
Crowns can be made of a variety of different materials:
Your dentist will advise which crown is most suitable for your individual needs following a full and thorough clinical examination and assessment.
If you are based in Ipswich and need a crown to repair a damaged tooth, please contact the team at Lighthouse Dental to book in.
Crowns are an ideal restoration for teeth that have been broken or have been weakened by decay or a very large filling. A crown could also be used for discoloured fillings if you would like to improve the tooth’s appearance. Properly cared-for crowns should last for many years, and your dentist will be able to tell you how long the crown may be expected to last.
