Dental crowns
When a tooth is too damaged to be restored with a filling or an onlay, a crown covers it entirely to protect it and restore its shape. At our practice, we only make all-ceramic crowns, for a natural look.
On a living tooth
If the nerve is healthy, we prepare the tooth and fit a ceramic crown that covers it entirely.
It protects the tooth from fractures over the long term and restores its natural shape and shade.
On a root-treated tooth
When decay has reached the nerve, we first carry out root canal treatment: we remove the diseased nerve infected by bacteria, disinfect the canals, then seal them with a clean, watertight filling paste.
A root-treated tooth becomes more fragile. We reinforce it with a post and core (inlay-core), a support anchored in the root, then fit the crown.
The steps
