Dental crowns are custom-made caps fitted over the surface of a tooth, covering its entire structure.

They offer a strong bond to the original tooth, creating a very natural addition to your smile.

Why do I need a crown?

If your teeth have been damaged, cracked or broken, they need to be protected to prevent further loss of tooth structure and to maintain the aesthetic appearance of your teeth. A single tooth that is not in the correct place can have a significant impact on a person’s smile and their confidence.

Crowns are generally chosen as a solution for people who have a portion of healthy tooth available, and where the damage to the tooth is not so severe as to warrant removal of the tooth. Crowns can hold together portions of a fractured tooth, support root-treated teeth and last for a number of years if placed and cared for correctly.

Dental crowns are similar to veneers, but cover the entire tooth rather than just the surface. Depending on your initial consultation, we may decide to have a mixture of dental veneers and crowns or dental implants, which will give you a beautiful smile.

Types of Crowns

Types

What kind of crowns are available?

  • Metal-backed porcelain: A tooth coloured crown that is fused to a metal base, which gives this crown its strength. Long-lasting but can often appear ‘lifeless’ due to an opaque porcelain needed to mask the metal substructure.
  • EMax crown metal-free: A crown that offers longevity and has a great aesthetic appearance due to the zero metal content.
  • Zirconia crown: Created from Zirconia (a kind of crystal which is often regarded as virtually indestructible), this crown is known for its high strength and durability.

Smile journey

How we process your dental crowns

Consultation and Discussion Consultation and Discussion hover

Step 1

Consultation and Discussion

On your first visit, we will discuss what dental work needs to be done and take a look at your teeth to see which ones may need crowns.

Preparation Preparation hover

Step 2

Preparation

On your second visit, we will begin treatment. The tooth is cleaned and then reshaped. The rationale behind this is to improve the shape of the tooth and its condition so that it is ready for the fitting of the crown.

Impressions Impressions hover

Step 3

Impressions

An impression is then taken of your teeth. This involves the use of a mould filled with dental putty, which you will be asked to bite into. The impression left by your teeth is used by our highly skilled dental technician as a cast, which is then used in the fabrication of your crown.

Step 4

Temporary Crown and Provision of your Final Restoration

We will fit a temporary crown, which you will wear until your new crown is ready. Once it is ready, you will return to the dental surgery for the fitting. The new crown is fitted, and its shade and appearance are checked by your dentist.
