Dental Crowns in Nairobi
Do you have cracked, broken, or worn-down teeth? Are you self-conscious about teeth discoloration or weak teeth that need extra support? These common dental issues can affect your ability to eat comfortably, your self-esteem, and even your overall health.
Fortunately, dental crowns also known as caps are an effective solution to these issues. They are custom-made covers placed over your existing teeth to restore their functionality and improve their appearance. Crowns can be made from a wide variety of durable materials to suit individual needs and preferences.
Dental crowns can rebuild damaged teeth (repair teeth with cracks, breaks or extensive wear and tear), strengthen weak teeth (support and protect teeth from further damage) and conceal imperfections (create a uniform, natural-looking shade for stained teeth). At Arrow Dental Center, we have experienced cosmetic dentists who will work closely with you to ensure your crowns achieve optimal results, leaving you with a healthy, confident smile.

Your Guide to Dental Crowns
Learn about the different aspects of dental crown treatment, from candidacy and procedure to recovery and aftercare.
Dental crowns are tailored single-tooth restorations that completely cover a compromised tooth to restore its appearance, function, and strength. They are a good restorative option that can be applied to treat a wide range of dental problems.
You may be a good candidate for dental crowns if you suffer from:
- Broken or cracked teeth: Fractured teeth affect your bite and ability to eat. Personalized dental crowns fitted over broken teeth can protect them from further damage and restore your eating ability.
- Root Canal Therapy: This procedure involves removing infected pulp within the tooth and root canal which can reduce the strength of the tooth. Placing a crown over the tooth can strengthen the teeth and improve their function.
- Tooth decay: Crowns can restore teeth that have been affected by decay that has not extended into the roots.
- Large dental fillings: These types of fillings can increase the risk of tooth fracture. Replacing the filling with a dental crown as the primary restoration reduces the chances of breakage during daily activities like eating.
- Missing teeth: Dental crown can be attached to an implant to replace a missing tooth without affecting the adjacent teeth.
- Cosmetic concerns: Crowns can be used to conceal a tooth hiding imperfections such as malformed teeth.
Initial Examination and Consultation

Tooth Preparation
