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.
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.
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth. It’s often used after large fillings, decay, or root canal treatment to restore strength and function.
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, dental crowns can last anywhere between 10 to 15 years or longer, depending on the material used and your dental habits.
Not at all. The procedure is done under local anaesthetic to ensure you’re comfortable. You may feel some mild sensitivity afterwards, but this usually settles quickly.
Includes a comprehensive dental exam, X-rays, and a routine hygiene clean performed by the dentist. A great way to get started on your journey to a healthier smile.
