Dental crowns, also referred to as dental "caps", are made to fully hide the obvious area of the chipped tooth and closely match the surrounding natural teeth in shape, size and color. An expert cosmetic dentist Nottingham strives to give the most efficient and cosmetically pleasing dental crown design and placement to satisfy the needs of the patient. Modern dental crowns are typically custom-crafted from porcelain to make sure the most natural appearance possible.

Dental crowns are placed to restore certain disorders with a patient's teeth that usually involve the shape, size, strength, appearance and overall wear and tear. Patients need to have a dental crown placed for various reasons including restoration of a tooth that has a big amount of decay, to mask a tooth which has had a root canal treatment.

Furthermore, dental crowns are the most effective way of preserving as much of a damaged tooth's natural structure as possible. They also fill the gap where a tooth might otherwise be missing, which keeps adjacent teeth from shifting out of their proper position. In addition to covering natural teeth, dental crowns can be fixed to dental implants in patients who are missing their original teeth. Implant-supported crowns appear and function virtually the same as natural teeth and are the preferred option of tooth replacement for those who are missing a single tooth.

The most appropriate materials to be used in an individual procedure depend on the preferences of the patient, the cost of the materials and the preferences of the cosmetic dentist Nottingham performing the procedure. Metal crown is one of the least expensive materials for a dental crown and is highly visible unless placed on the back teeth. Resin crowns are often the least expensive to place. Unfortunately, they do not last as long as crowns made of other materials. Porcelain crowns are the best option for patients who want their crowns to match their natural teeth. When a porcelain crown is being designed, the Nottingham cosmetic dentist has the ability to pick the color of the material the crown is made from.
