CROWNS IN NORTH LONDON
A crown is a cap that is placed over a tooth and held in place by dental adhesive or cement.
Crowns are used for several reasons:
-
as a protective cover for badly decayed teeth or fractured teeth
-
as a permanent restoration for teeth with large fillings
-
to correct minor problems in natural teeth like spacing and irregular shape or severe discolouration.
Crowns are made of inert materials that do not deteriorate over time.
Regular check-ups will enable your dentist to detect any problems with your crown and recommend necessary treatment.
INLAYS AND ONLAYS
Inlays are restorations usually placed on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth.
An inlay fits within the confines of the teeth. An onlay covers the entire chewing surface of the tooth. These can be made of either plastic resin or porcelain.
The procedure involves removing decayed tooth structure or old fillings, preparing the tooth cavity, taking an impression of the cavity to fabricate a custom-fit inlay or onlay. Two visits are required to complete the treatment.
