Dental crowns

Crowns can be used to support a tooth with a large filling, to protect a tooth after root canal treatment or to hold a dental bridge in place.

Choose Kew Dentistry for custom dental crowns that restore strength and function while looking natural and protecting your teeth.

Damaged or missing teeth can make it difficult to eat. To restore optimum oral functioning, dental crowns help make chewing nutritious food like fresh fruits and vegetables easier.

Dental crowns are prosthetic devices used to replace or restore your teeth. In the case of a tooth replacement, they are used to cover a dental implant. Dental crowns are effective in protecting teeth that have been damaged and preventing more damage and decay.

Dental Crown FAQs
Why do I need a dental crown?

There are a number of situations that require a dental crown. A crown may be used to protect a weak tooth from decay, to cover and support a filling, to restore a broken tooth, to hold a dental bridge in place, to cover discoloured teeth or to cover an implant.

How should I care for my temporary crown?

At Kew Dentistry, recommendations may involve avoiding sticky, chewy or hard foods, reducing use of the relevant side of the mouth and taking particular brushing and flossing precautions. Your dentist will discuss individual recommendations at your appointment.

Does the final crown require special care?

On the whole, no. However, make sure to maintain good oral hygiene practises, including brushing and flossing.

How long do dental crowns last?

On average, dental crowns last 5-15 years. This may depend on oral hygiene, grinding or clenching and other factors.
