We can fix broken teeth and restore decaying teeth to give you a smile fit for royalty with crowns at Hilton Dental Clinic.
A crown, sometimes known as a ‘cap’, is an artificial restoration that fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it stronger. They can be made of porcelain, gold, or a combination of these materials, and help to restore the shape and health of your natural tooth. Crowns are an ideal restoration for teeth that have been broken, or have been weakened by decay or a very large filling.
The benefits of dental crowns
I have recently joined the Hilton Dental Clinic as a new patient. It is an extremely welcoming practice and I was put at ease immediately. The receptionist was very informative and friendly. I am quite a nervous patient and the dentist made me feel very relaxed and was very gentle. I would thoroughly recommend this clinic.
We’ll have an initial consultation with you to discuss your smile goals, and create a unique treatment plan to start your journey to a beautiful smile.
In most cases, having a dental crown fitted will take place across two appointments, because your crown needs to be made in a dental laboratory.
The treatment process:
1. We start by taking an impression of the tooth that needs to be restored, which gets sent off to the dental laboratory so your crown can be made. The decayed tooth material is removed with a dental drill, and a temporary crown may be fitted in the meantime.
2. Your crown is manufactured in the dental lab from specialist materials – either porcelain or a combination of metal and porcelain – which is designed to fit your tooth precisely, and match the shape and colour of its neighbouring teeth.
3. Once your crown is ready, you’ll come back in and we’ll prepare the tooth for the crown to be fitted securely on top. We do this by using a very strong dental bond to glue the crown in place, making sure it matches your other teeth, and is a snug, secure fit.
The whole team at Hilton Dental Clinic are professional, kind, courteous and welcoming. The service they provide is never less than excellent.
