A crown is a restoration that fits over a tooth to restore its size, shape, strength and/or to improve its appearance.
Each crown is custom made to fit the patient’s exact bite.
A crown is designed as a permanent solution to weakened or compromised teeth, or to create a more cosmetically pleasing tooth.
You would be required to attend the practice to have your tooth prepared for the crown, impressions taken and shade taken to ensure a perfect colour match to your own natural tooth. Two weeks later you will return to the practice to have your custom made crown bonded onto your tooth.
The cost of crowns can vary significantly depending on the materials that have been chosen to construct the crown. Crowns start from £750 per tooth.
There are many different options for the materials used when making crowns. Porcelain crowns are the most popular as they contain no metal, giving cosmetic advantages over the traditional metal or gold crown. However, your dentist will be able to advise you on the most appropriate material for your crown.
Not normally. However, some patients find they may have some sensitivity for a period of time after the crown has been fitted, this should settle down within a few days.
