Crowns & Bridges

What is a crown?

A crown is a covering for a tooth that has been weakened through either root canal treatments or large fillings. It acts as a shield over the tooth structure providing an extra layer of strength. Crowns are typically made from porcelain, ceramic, or even gold.

What does the procedure involve?

A crown is prepared over 2 appointments, the first involves trimming around the tooth to allow enough space around the final crown. Once trimmed an impression of the remaining tooth is taken to ensure a perfect fit, a temporary crown is then made to fill the space. Here at Agile Dentistry, we send all of our crowns down to Perth to be handmade ensuring the perfect crown every time.

Once the crown is back into the clinic, which is a 2-week turn around the final appointment is made to permanently cement the crown into the mouth.
