What Is A Crown?

A crown, also known as a "cap", is a permanent dental restoration which completely covers the tooth or dental implant. 

By having the crown, it protects the tooth that is either quite broken down or have a large filling or after a root canal treatment. The crown protects the rest of your tooth structure with a strong material so that it can withstand biting forces.

At West Perth Dental Centre, we have 2 ways to make crowns - traditional crown and CEREC same day crown.
