The reliable restoration
Crowns, restored.
When a tooth has been weakened by decay, a fracture, or years of repair, a crown protects what's left and rebuilds the visible shape. The original tooth stays underneath. The crown takes the load.

About this treatment
The quiet repair, that holds.
Crowns are how dentistry handles a tooth that's still yours but isn't itself anymore. A back molar that's had three fillings and finally cracked. A root-canalled tooth that the dentist warned was going to need protection eventually. A front tooth chipped against the edge of a glass. In each case a crown is the same idea: a precise cap that fits over what remains of the tooth, restoring its shape and taking the daily pressure of biting.
The technique is over a hundred years old, but the materials have changed completely. Where crowns once meant gold or a metal core with a porcelain face, the standard today is full ceramic. The new crown matches the surrounding teeth in colour and translucency closely enough that even close inspection doesn't pick it out.
What a crown is really doing is buying you time. Decades, usually, with a tooth that would otherwise have been heading for extraction. It's the most conservative end of restorative dentistry: keep the root, keep the position, keep the nerve where you can. Replace only what's been lost.
What to expect
Two appointments, then back to normal.
Most crowns are fitted across two visits a week or two apart. The first visit prepares the tooth and takes the impression that the laboratory uses to build the new crown. A temporary cap protects the tooth in the meantime, and most people forget it's there within a day.
The second visit fits the final crown. The temporary comes off, the new ceramic crown is checked for fit and colour, and once it's right, it's bonded into place. From that point you eat, drink, and brush as you always did. A six-week check confirms everything has settled, and after that the tooth is back in the rotation alongside the rest.
