Dental crown specialist dentist in North London
What are dental crowns?
Dental crowns can be an appropriate solution for patients suffering from fractured, chipped or sensitive teeth. It is in essence a cap that covers the natural tooth and forms a protective barrier and provides a more aesthetically pleasing look.
When dental crowns should be used?
A crown is not appropriate for everyone, it is recommended by Dr. Majithia in the following unique cases:
- A tooth with the filling is in fact larger than the natural tooth left. In certain cases the tooth can become weakened and a crown can offer protection and increased strength. As such it is often recommended in cases of extensive tooth decay where a filling would leave very little natural tooth.
- A crown can be used to mask discolourations and chipped teeth to improve the overall look of your smile.
- Dr Majithia specifically recommends crowns to his patients after undergoing a root canal treatment. After such a procedure teeth are usually compromised and prone to chipping and breaking. A crown will offer the rigidity and protection needed to continue using the tooth as normal.
- When dental bridges are used the adjacent teeth need to be protected by a crown to offer the support the bridge requires.
