Dental Crowns in Cardiff
A versatile solution to restore weakened and damaged teeth in functionality and strength, dental crowns have a wide range of benefits and can be adapted to your situation. Not only will a dental crown procedure improve your teeth’s health following a visit to your dentist, but they’re aesthetically pleasing too. Designed to be in place of a broken tooth or improve its appearance, they also assist with shape and alignment, or as a highly effective sealant. A permanent crown or temporary crowns can be placed over your natural tooth in an efficient and effective process carried out by our highly professional and qualified team who have vast experience in providing dental crowns in Cardiff and an outstanding array of other dental services.
During a consultation, we’ll take a first examination and prepare the tooth by taking away a part of its structure so that the crown can fit in nicely. Following this, impressions will make sure that it is a precise fit that is tailored to your requirements in which a temporary crown may be placed to protect the tooth whilst the permanent crown is being produced in a dedicated dental laboratory. The final part of the process is to secure the new crown placement for an outcome that will transform your teeth.
What are Dental Crowns
Providing a variety of types of crowns from porcelain crowns to gold, Emax and Zirconia, each option provides reinforcement and durable protection for front teeth and back teeth. They form a case around the tooth above the gum line and can prevent further decay if you’ve had a root canal procedure. Another advantage is that this custom-made crown fit can enhance the look of a discoloured or misshapen tooth, restore a broken or fractured tooth, strengthen a tooth that may have become weak following a large filling and also rescue a severely decayed tooth. It also means that there will be less crowding by surrounding teeth, therefore making your teeth straighter. Available in a number of options and materials to suit your needs, our dedicated dental team will be able to advise and guide you on what choice is best for you and your teeth in years to come with successful results.

How do Crowns Work?
Often referred to as caps, dental crowns help with several issues to help restore the health of your teeth. They’re designed to completely cover the visible part of your tooth above the gum line in order to restore the appearance, size, strength and size of your original tooth. Your unique crown will be produced in a dedicated dental lab within a number of weeks following your consultation which will be fitted by our esteemed dental team. We’ll make sure that it is placed properly and most importantly comfortable before bonding using a special dental cement. Finally, the dentist will then carry out any adjustments and evaluations to check bite alignment and that you’re happy with how it feels, therefore it’s vital that you provide honest feedback about the natural placement and functions. Once fitted you’ll have a reinforced tooth that not only performs well but looks great too. Regular dental check ups and oral hygiene are key to maintaining its longevity and overall health.
