Dental crowns in Ystradgynlais

A crown is a cap cemented over a damaged tooth so it blends in with your neighbouring teeth — a great way to restore a broken or decayed tooth’s strength and appearance.

Crowns are used to

• Protect a decayed or weakened tooth from breaking.
• Hold together parts of a cracked tooth.
• Restore a worn-down tooth.
• Support a tooth with a large filling.
• Cover discoloured teeth or dental implants.

Types of crowns

Metal crowns (gold or other alloys) are extremely strong and ideal for back molars where appearance matters less. Porcelain fused to metal combines a strong metal base with a porcelain finish, suitable anywhere in the mouth. All-ceramic crowns (zirconia or high-strength glass-ceramic) are the most lifelike option — the ultimate in aesthetics.
