Don’t let a damaged or broken tooth disrupt your day-to-day life or the long-term future of your oral health.

For teeth that require restorative and cosmetic attention, our skilfully made crowns offer protection and a convincingly natural result that suits your smile.

What are crowns?

Crowns are one of the most common dental restorations used to repair and restore a tooth that has become moderately to severely affected by problems that threaten its health. They act as caps that fit over the entirety of a tooth.

Quick-fire benefits

Prevent decay from worsening.

Improve the appearance of broken or severely chipped and fractured teeth.

Cover a tooth that is discoloured post-root canal treatment.

Forget about any cosmetic damage that may have been stopping you from smiling in public.

Crowns are anchored over the top of an implant, giving an unparalleled level of stability when you chew and talk.

FAQs

What are the main reasons I might need a crown?

Some common reasons for needing a crown include:

Dental decay that is too extensive for a filling, inlay or onlay.
To fortify a filling.
To secure dental bridges in position.
To fit over the top of a dental implant.
To improve severely discoloured teeth (where teeth whitening cannot be of use).
To restore a natural and balanced appearance to your teeth.
To address tooth wear.

What are crowns made of?

There are a series of materials that can be used to produce crowns, including porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, ceramic, glass and gold alloy.

The materials we use will depend on the location of the tooth that requires attention and your particular needs. Whilst some patients prefer a more cost-effective choice of material, others may wish to opt for a premium material such as porcelain which mimics real tooth enamel extremely effectively.

What can I expect from the process?

Digital software is used to help us establish the most preservative treatment possible to repair your tooth. Should we find the structural integrity of your tooth is at risk, a crown is often the best way to proceed.

Our planning software will give us the information we need to identify the distinctive aspects of your tooth, which our dental technician will keep in mind when creating your bespoke crown. Everything from the shape, contours, shade, length and width of how your teeth sit together will be analysed, with a view to effecting a natural-looking outcome.

My husband and I have been coming to get treatments from Dr Patel for over 10 years now. Dr Patel is a superb dentist. He is not only an expert in his field but also caring about his patients. Lately I’ve been treated for a large filling and crown. He made me feel at ease from the start, didn’t feel any pain and his eye for detail ensured that it was all perfect so I could get on with my busy life. His team are very friendly as well.We also get excellent service from Emily, the hygienist. I thoroughly recommend the Loddon Vale Practice!

Dr Patel has been looking after myself and my children’s dental issues for many years now. He is very patient with my children especially as one has SEN and complex dental needs. He explains his procedures to the children carefully and with sensitivity to their needs. The staff there are friendly and the practice Manager kept me informed of any information from specialists we had been referred to. Practise is clean and tidy. Parking in close by and free!
