Dental Crowns

Porcelain dental crowns are a strong, natural-looking way to restore or fix teeth that have been damaged, worn down, broken, heavily filled, or weakened over time. They are custom-made to cover the entire tooth, improving both strength and appearance while blending beautifully with your natural smile.

At our practice, every dental crown is carefully designed for the individual tooth, your bite, and your overall smile. The goal is not just to repair the tooth, but to create a result that feels comfortable, functions well, and looks seamless.

  • A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over your entire tooth to restore its shape, strength and appearance. It is commonly used when a tooth is too damaged to be repaired with a filling alone.

    Dental Crowns can:

    • Strengthen weakened or cracked teeth

    • Restore broken or worn-down teeth

    • Improve appearance and shape

    • Protect teeth after root canal treatment

  • We offer both same-day and lab-made crowns, depending on your needs, timeline and aesthetic goals. They can be made of porcelain, ceramic or zirconia.

    CEREC (same-day crowns)

    • Designed and made in one visit

    • No temporary crown needed

    • Quick and convenient

    • Made using advanced CAD/CAM technology

    Traditional custom crowns

    • Hand-crafted in a dental lab

    • Ideal for high aesthetic areas (front teeth)

    • Highly detailed and customised finish

    • Typically completed over 2–3 weeks

  • We take a tailored approach to ensure your crown fits perfectly, functions well and looks natural. The choice between CEREC and traditional crowns is guided by what will give you the best outcome.

    Our Process Includes:

    • Detailed assessment of your tooth and bite

    • Selecting the most suitable crown type

    • Precise digital or impression-based design

    • Focus on long-term durability and aesthetics

  • Porcelain Crowns (or Zirconia Crowns) are often recommended when a tooth is too damaged for simpler treatments. They provide both structural support and cosmetic improvement.

    You may Need a Crown if You:

    • Have a cracked or broken tooth

    • Have a large filling weakening the tooth

    • Have had a root canal

    • Want to restore shape and appearance

    How Long do Dental Crowns Last?

    Dental crowns are designed to be long-lasting and durable. With proper care, they can last many years.

    Typically:

    • Last 10-15 years or more

    • Longevity depends on oral hygiene and habits

    • Regular dental check-ups help maintain them

  • Every smile is different, which is why every treatment begins with a personalised consultation.

    We'll take the time to understand your priorities and goals, assess your oral health and recommend the treatment that's right for you.

    During your consultation, we'll discuss:

    • Your personalised treatment options

    • Your expected treatment timeline

    • Upfront treatment costs

    • Available payment options and finance where applicable

    Our goal is to make the process clear, transparent and stress-free, so you feel informed and confident before moving forward with your treatment.

  • Gareth S.

    Matt was amazing offered me options to choose from, explained the pros and cons of each and made me decide on whats best for me. It was a very smooth time on the seat, didn't feel any pain, or discomfort, and rather than doing the crown in 3 visits he did it for me in one visit and the crown is just great, no issues at all.

  • Sam S.
