Crowns

What is a Crown?

A crown is a cap that is placed over a tooth and held in place by dental adhesive or cement.

Crowns are used for several reasons:

as a protective cover for badly decayed teeth or fractured teeth as a permanent restoration for teeth with large fillings to correct minor problems in natural teeth like spacing and irregular shape or severe discolouration.

Crowns can be made from a variety of materials. They can be made from plastic, ceramic or metal alloys. A combination of metal and ceramic is also possible to maximise strength and simulate the appearance of natural teeth.

Regrettably, our NHS services will end 30th April 2024. We have come to this decision with a heavy heart and we are fully aware that it is a very difficult time for everyone. Our team will continue to see NHS patients until the end of April 2024, so if you already have an appointment booked, please keep this. To minimise the financial impact of these changes we are inviting you to join our brand new membership plans. See our fees page for more information
