Crowns
A dental crown is a custom-designed cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape and strength. This treatment is often used after a root canal or to protect a tooth with a large filling. The process typically involves two appointments, and you can return to normal eating habits shortly after the final fitting.
Crowns explained
A crown is a custom cap that covers and protects a damaged or heavily filled tooth, restoring its strength and appearance.
What is a crown?
A dental crown is a tailored cap, often ceramic, that fits over a tooth that's cracked, worn, root-treated or heavily filled. It restores the tooth's strength, shape and look while keeping the natural root in place.
Is it right for me?
Crowns suit teeth that are too damaged for a simple filling but still have a healthy root. Your dentist examines the tooth and any X-rays and confirms whether a crown, or another option, is right.
How it's done, step by step
- 1
Consultation and assessment of the tooth.
- 2
Preparation: the tooth is shaped under local anaesthetic to receive the crown.
- 3
A digital impression is taken and a temporary crown may be fitted.
- 4
Your custom crown is made to match your natural teeth.
- 5
Fitting: the crown is bonded and your bite is checked.
What you'll experience
Crown treatment is usually two short, comfortable visits. Your consultant coordinates the appointments in your language.
Recovery and results timeline
There's minimal downtime; you may avoid very hard or sticky foods on a temporary crown. Once the final crown is fitted you can eat normally, with simple ongoing care.
