Crowns

A crown is applied over the top part of the tooth that has been badly damaged, is extremely worn or severely decayed. Crowns can help to improve the appearance of your teeth, maintain a natural bite and restore function.

The crown acts as a cover to strengthen and protect the tooth from fracturing, and helps to limit the chances of further fracturing, loss of teeth or the need for more complex and costly procedures.

GWH Dental, your local dentist in Cleveland, Brisbane, will create aesthetically appealing and long-lasting crowns that work in harmony with your natural teeth. It is a collaborative effort that requires a high level of attention to detail with very precise clinical skills coupled with technical expertise.
