Crowns

Govan Health Centre Dental Practice provides a full crowns service at our Govan practice.

What is a crown?

Crowns are an ideal way to rebuild teeth which have been broken, or have been weakened by decay or a very large filling.  The crown fits right over the remaining part of the tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape and contour of a natural tooth.  Crowns are sometimes also known as ‘caps’.  An ‘Anterior Crown’ is a crown fitted to the front eight teeth.

Why would I need a crown?

There are a number of reasons.  For instance:

• the tooth may have been weakened by having a very large filling
• you may have discoloured fillings and would like to improve the appearance of the tooth
• you may have had a root filling which will need a crown to protect it
• you may have had an accident and damaged the tooth
• it may help hold a bridge or denture firmly in place.
