At The Dentist, our team are highly experienced and skilled in restoring a smile to full function with a crown.

A crown is one of the most popular ways to restore a tooth that has been damaged. Designed to sit over the natural tooth, it acts as a โ€˜capโ€™ or โ€˜crownโ€™ and will look, feel, and act just as a natural tooth does.

Why might I need a crown?

We use and recommend crowns when a tooth has become damaged as a result of decay or injury. There are also some cases where a crown โ€“ or crowns โ€“ might be used in conjunction with another restorative treatment such as bridges, or root canal treatments. Some patients also choose to use a crown to address aesthetic and cosmetic issues such as discolouration, or a crooked or misshapen tooth.

What is the treatment process like?

Weโ€™ll first administer a local anaesthetic before reshaping the damaged tooth. Weโ€™ll then take either an impression or a digital scan of the mouth using our iTero scanner. These will then be sent to a skilled dental technician who will use them to make your unique crown. Weโ€™ll fit you for a temporary crown while this happens.

Once your crown is ready, youโ€™ll return to the practice, where weโ€™ll remove the temporary crown and ensure the permanent crown’s fit, shade, and shape are correct. Once this has been done, weโ€™ll apply the definitive crown โ€“ this is done with a dental adhesive which cements the crown in place.

We can also provide same-day crowns via CEREC.

What is CEREC?

Cerec is at the cutting edge of dentistry and uses a computer-based system to assess, build, treat, and apply restorations such as crowns, inlays and onlays in just one visit. Using Cerec, we can apply a crown in one sitting, without the use of impressions or temporary restoration.

After the tooth has been shaped appropriately, a digital scan is taken of the area and a ceramic crown will be made uniquely for you during a single visit to us here at The Dentist. The ceramic material used for these crowns is colour-matched to your teeth and gives a very natural-looking finish. Itโ€™s also bonded to the natural tooth and often allows us to conserve more of the natural tooth than in other treatments.
