Crowns

Crowns are versatile dental restorations commonly used in dentistry.

Their uses range from covering a dental implant and protecting against fracture, to treating discolouration and protecting weak teeth. Thanks to CEREC crown technology, it’s now possible to have a porcelain crown created and fitted in a single appointment. Learn more below

What to expect from treatment

Our approach here at Stoke Bishop Dental Centre is to create crowns that are made with your unique smile in mind. Your crown will be custom created, matching your tooth shade and shape. Your dentist will remove a very small amount of tooth enamel and take an impression or a digital scan, allowing the technician to create a crown that is made to your specifications. We will fit you with a temporary crown while you wait for your new crown to be sent to the practice – this is usually around two weeks. We will then ask you to come back to have your crown bonded using a strong adhesive, and any necessary minor amendments can be made at this time.

The benefits of getting a crown

• Achieve a natural looking result
• Reinforce and protect a weak or damaged tooth.
• Restore function, allowing you to enjoy foods that are tougher to break down without the risk of damage.
• Bespoke solution – crowns are made to suit your smile.
