What is a dental crown?
Crowns are used to completely restore teeth that have become damaged through decay, chips, discolouration or large fillings. These custom-made porcelain restorations fit over the tooth, transforming the full appearance.
We can also use crowns to replace missing teeth, either as part of a bridge or fixed onto a dental implant.
The benefits
- Transforms and enhances the appearance of a tooth.

- Natural-looking.
- Long-lasting.
- Confidence boosting.
Treatment steps
- 01
Preparing the tooth
To allow for enough room for the crown, we remove a layer of the tooth structure, but make sure we leave a strong core.
- 02
Impressions and colour
We then take impressions of your teeth and record their colour so the crown can be made to fit perfectly.
- 03
Temporary crown
Between appointments, we protect the prepared tooth with a temporary crown.
- 04
Fitting
When your crown is ready, the temporary crown is removed and the new permanent one fixed in place with a strong dental cement.
How do I care for my crown?
The best way to care for your crown is to stay on top of your oral hygiene just as you would for your natural teeth. A crown protects a tooth from decay, but not where it meets the gum, and it does not guard against gum disease, so it’s important to keep the area clean and free from bacteria.
