Cosmetic bonding is a process in which a tooth-coloured material is applied to the surface. It can be used to restore minor chips and small gaps.
Contouring is a simple way to reshape and enhance your smile. This works well to smooth minor chips, replace or redefine tooth surface.

A crown is a restoration that fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape of a natural tooth.

Crowns are an ideal way to rebuild teeth which have been broken, or have been weakened by decay or a very large filling.

A crown is sometimes known as a ‘cap’. Crowns are made of a variety of materials.

Recommendations on the most suitable option for your teeth are discussed and during your consultation

A crown could be used for a number of other 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
