Bonded Crowns

A crown is a type of dental restoration used to fix teeth that have been broken, weakened by decay or contain a very large filling. Crowns can be made of different materials, such as all ceramic crowns, full gold crowns and porcelain bonded dental-crowns-southfields.

Here is how it works:

1. The tooth that needs restoring is prepared and an impression is taken.
2. A crown is made in the dental laboratory to fit the tooth precisely and match the neighbouring teeth.
3. The crown fitted securely on top.

Bonded Crown

A crown could be a good solution for you if you have some discoloured fillings and would like to improve their appearance. Crowns can be used to replace these to give you a more appealing smile. Additionally, if you have had root canal treatment you will need a crown to protect or cap the restored tooth, allowing you to eat and bite down on it as if it was a real tooth. Crowns are also used to anchor a bridge or denture firmly in place in the mouth.
