Dental crowns in Ilford

What is a crown?

A crown is a fitted covering for a tooth. A dentist may consider it when a tooth needs restoration, depending on the remaining tooth structure.

Discuss preparation and materials

Ask what preparation is needed, what materials are appropriate and how the crown would fit your bite. The dental team can explain the proposed stages.

Plan for ongoing care

Ask how to look after the restored tooth and what future maintenance could involve. Availability, fees and appointment numbers should be confirmed before treatment.

Your questions answered

Does every damaged tooth need a crown?

No. A dentist needs to examine the tooth and explain the appropriate options.
