Crowns are typically made of porcelain that matches the colour of your teeth. They can also be made of a ceramic covered metal base or, in some cases when a back tooth is crowned, fused with a gold alloy.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”When are Crowns Necessary?” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:25|text_align:left|color:%23434947″ google_fonts=”font_family:PT%20Sans%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1485368338996{margin-top: 10px !important;}”]Our dentists will recommend a crown when the following circumstances arise:<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Severe tooth decay that a filling alone cannot repair<\/li>\n
  2. Replacing large old fillings that have weakened the tooth<\/li>\n
  3. Strengthening a cracked tooth to prevent it from breaking<\/li>\n
  4. Sealing a tooth that is highly sensitive to cold or hot food and drinks because of wear or receded gums<\/li>\n
  5. Covering and strengthening a tooth that underwent root canal treatment<\/li>\n
  6. Discoloured or deformed teeth due to trauma or from prolonged medication intake<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Crowns will usually require 2 visits to be installed.
