Missing or broken teeth can cause many different problems such as eating difficulties, dental hygiene issues, as well as problems with confidence and self-esteem.

A dental crown is an effective and affordable treatment that helps to fix, strengthen and improve the appearance of a damaged or missing tooth. It is a permanent solution and so can prevent any future dental issues from occurring.
Dental crowns are a common treatment used to strengthen a damaged or broken tooth without looking out of place.

They consist of a small “cap” that is added to the top of the damaged tooth and are usually made from porcelain, however, a variety of different materials are available depending on your requirements.

All our dental crowns are made from casts of your original teeth to ensure that they don’t look out of place and are fixed with dental cement to ensure they are permanent.
It is usually two appointments process.
The first is called crown preparation – on this appointment, we will then be set for you to have your teeth prepared for the crowns. An impression will then be taken of the teeth. This will be used in the lab to fabricate your custom teeth.

The dentist will then give you a temporary crown if the prepared tooth is visible in the etc front anterior tooth so that you don’t have unsightly gaps when you leave the clinic (in advance of getting the permanent crown fitted).
The second is a crown fitting appointment- Once your crowns and bridges are complete the dentist will then arrange an appointment to fit them.

If all goes well the process of crown treatment can be completed in 2 or 3 weeks.
