Dental Crowns in Lower Hutt

Has your tooth lost its shape and size due to decay or an injury? Does it not function the way that it used to? A dental crown might be a great way to help restore the function and appearance of your damaged tooth.

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over a tooth. This cap covers the remains of the existing tooth to restore its shape, size and strength and improve its appearance. Crowns are cemented into place and fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line.

When Will We Choose For A Dental Crown?

At Hutt Dental Hub, we do a thorough assessment of your oral health to recommend the most suitable treatment for your situation. We will suggest a dental crown:

• To protect a weak tooth (for instance, from decay) from breaking, or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth
• To restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down
• To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t a lot of the tooth left
• To hold a dental bridge in place
• To cover a dental implant
• To make a cosmetic modification.

Our experienced dentists will take moulds of your teeth, together with the desired colour and shade, to closely match the appearance of your natural teeth. After the dental crown has been manufactured in our laboratory, we will fit it onto your damaged tooth to help restore comfort and function.
