Giving You Back Your Smile
Both crowns and most bridges are fixed prosthetic devices. Unlike removable 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.

Crowns and Bridges
A crown is used to protect a tooth that has a large filling, a tooth that has been root filled, or to avoid cracking of teeth that have become weak. Think of a crown as a thimble that goes over the top of a tooth. Not only can a crown protect a tooth, but they are also aesthetic.
When We Might Use a Crown
At Complete Dental Care, we may recommend a crown to:
- Replace a large filling when there is not enough tooth remaining
- Protect a weak tooth from fracturing
- Restore a fractured tooth
- Attach a bridge
- Cover a dental implant
- Cover a discoloured or poorly shaped tooth
- Cover a tooth that has had root canal treatment
Can a Dental Crown/Tooth Cap Fix a Chipped Tooth?
If you have chipped or damaged a tooth, or you just wish to improve the aesthetic appeal of your smile, tooth caps may be the answer. Dental crowns (or tooth caps) offer a simple solution for restoring and protecting your teeth while creating a beautiful, natural-looking smile.

What to Expect After Treatment
Numbness
Your mouth may still be numb for a few hours after the treatment until the anaesthetic wears off. Avoid chewing on your lip or cheek to prevent injury.
Minor discomfort
It is completely normal for your new crown to feel a little strange at first while your adjacent teeth are getting used to it.
