Crowns

Find your nearest Bhandal dental practice

Dental crowns offer an ideal way to protect and restore natural teeth.

Crowns are made from porcelain or composite material and most commonly used to restore a damaged tooth. Your dentist might recommend a crown after a root canal treatment, or if your tooth has been cracked, chipped or damaged by decay. This is a private restorative dental treatment that will help you to smile and eat with confidence again.

What is a dental crown?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that fits over your existing tooth. This can help to make the tooth stronger, maintain your bite, and even hide discolouration. If you have had root canal treatment or an extensive cavity filling, you might not have enough tooth structure remaining, and this could leave the tooth exposed to damage. In this instance, we would recommend a dental crown to help restore your smile.

There are three main types of materials used for dental crowns: metal, porcelain and composite. Composite is the cheapest option, but this might not be suitable for anterior (back) teeth. A porcelain or ceramic crown will look most like a natural tooth but is prone to chips. And finally, a gold or silver tooth is the longest-lasting but most expensive option.

Why might I need a dental crown?

When a tooth is heavily damaged by decay, chips or cracks, a dental crown may be recommended to help protect the remaining structure. A dental crown is commonly used after a root canal to help protect the remaining tooth from damage and to make it stronger. It can also be effective for sealing and protecting a tooth that has been chipped or cracked.

Dental crowns are commonly used to replace missing teeth with the help of dental implants. And finally, it’s also possible to restore a tooth with a crown for purely aesthetic reasons. For example, if the tooth is heavily discoloured or crooked, a crown will help to improve the appearance.

Frequently asked questions

How can we help?

Dental restoration treatments are used to repair or replace damaged teeth. Common dental restoration treatments include fillings, crowns, bridges, and implants. Fillings are used to repair minor damage to the tooth structure, while crowns are used to cover and protect a damaged tooth. Bridges are used to replace missing teeth, and implants are used to replace missing teeth or to support a dental prosthesis.

The results of dermal filler injections typically last for several months. After that, the filler will gradually dissolve and be metabolised by the body.
