Dental Crowns
RESTORE THE STRENGTH AND SHAPE OF YOUR TOOTH
A crown, sometimes known as a “cap,” is a protective covering fitted over the existing structure of a broken or damaged tooth to restore its function and appearance.
Crowns may be prescribed as part of a treatment plan to restore teeth that have:
- Undergone root canal treatment
- Severe tooth surface loss
- Poor aesthetic appearance
- Existing crowns with poor appearance that need replacement
- Heavily restored teeth that require protection from breaking
- Broken-down teeth that need restoration to prevent further damage

Before we begin your treatment we′ll talk you through your options of course as we offer a full range of cosmetic dental crowns. For instance, if you require a crown at the back of your mouth you may prefer to opt for a hardwearing, less expensive crown made from ultra-durable dental composite. Alternatively, if you need a crown towards the front of your mouth you may decide to choose a natural-looking cosmetic tooth-colored one. Whatever type of dental crown is right for you, you can be sure that you′ll be very pleased with the results.
Preparation time will vary depending on the condition of the damaged tooth. The tooth will be reshaped, to ensure that once the crown is fitted, it remains the same size and shape as the natural teeth. It may also need to be built up with a filling first. A local anesthetic is usually given prior to preparation, to avoid any discomfort. After preparation, an impression is taken of the tooth to be crowned and nearby teeth, using a soft mouldable material. This impression is given to a dental technician, who uses it to build your crown to the exact size and shape required. This will ensure that the crown fits comfortably. When using porcelain crowns, the color will also be matched to the natural teeth.
With good oral hygiene, a crown can last for many years, depending on the condition of the original tooth.
