Dental Crowns

Dental Crowns serve as protective covers for damaged natural teeth, offering restoration for those that cannot be corrected by a filling alone. Our bespoke dental crowns are meticulously crafted to fit over your reshaped natural tooth, firmly secured in place using specialized dental adhesive.
