What is a crown?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A\ncrown is a type of dental restoration that is used to fix teeth that have been\nbroken, teeth that over time have been weakened by decay or teeth that are in\nneed of a very large filling. The crown is sculpted to fit over the remaining\npart of the tooth you are looking to repair. This makes the new tooth strong\nand helps the tooth appear similar to those around it. Special care is taken to\nmake sure that this new tooth looks like those around it by being carefully\ncoloured and matched to the remaining original teeth you have. This way, to\nother people your smile will look uninterrupted. Crowns\nand bridges Wimbledon<\/a> could be a good remedy for those looking to\nimprove the look of their smile by having some expertly matched crowns fixed.\nCrowns can also be used as a protective measure. For example, if you have had a\nroot canal treatment you will need a crown to allow your teeth to be fit for\npurpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If\nyou are considering crowns and bridges Wimbledon<\/strong>, but you need more\nextensive assistance then a bridge could be your solution. Bridges have a\nprecious metal base making them stronger and with a solid structure, to allow\nyour teeth to act as the teeth they are destined to be.
