A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fits over a tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are often used to protect weakened or heavily restored teeth and to rebuild teeth affected by toothwear.

Each tooth is assessed individually to ensure a crown is the appropriate solution.
Back to Crowns & Bridges
Several types of crowns are used in modern dentistry. The choice is based on strength, appearance, and long-term reliability.
It is common to use different crown types in different areas of the mouth to balance aesthetics and function.
Care is taken to ensure the crown fits comfortably and blends naturally with surrounding teeth.
Crowns need careful planning, especially when teeth are worn or the bite has changed. In most cases, your own dentist will look after your crown treatment. If the case is more complex, involves higher cosmetic expectations, or forms part of a larger treatment plan, Dr Kevin Gilmore will oversee the planning to ensure the final result looks natural, feels comfortable, and lasts a long time.
