Dental Crowns — Strong, Natural-Looking Tooth Restoration

Dental crowns restore teeth that are weakened, damaged, or broken. Over time, teeth can lose strength due to decay, cracks, or wear. When a filling is no longer enough to protect the tooth, a crown is often the ideal solution. We proudly serve patients from Lichfield, Tamworth, Sutton Coldfield, Rugeley, Cannock, Burton upon Trent, Stafford, Burntwood, Uttoxeter, and Ashby-de-la-Zouch. New NHS and private patients are welcome. We are open late evenings and weekends, and offer same-day emergency appointments.

A crown fits over your existing tooth like a strong, protective cap. It covers the damaged part completely. This restores the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance. We use high-quality materials such as porcelain and ceramic. These look natural and match your surrounding teeth perfectly. Crowns can last for 20 to 30 years when cared for well. In fact, they are one of the longest-lasting treatments in dentistry.

What Is a Dental Crown and When Do You Need One?

First, we may recommend a crown if a large filling has weakened the remaining tooth structure. It is also the best choice after root canal treatment to seal and protect the tooth. Furthermore, crowns fix teeth that have broken or cracked and cannot be repaired with fillings alone. They also cover badly stained or misshapen teeth to improve your smile. Additionally, crowns anchor dental bridges in place and protect dental implants.

What Does Getting a Crown Involve?

Usually, we complete the process across two appointments. At your first visit, we gently prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping the surface. Next, we take precise digital impressions. These create a highly accurate model of your tooth. Then, we place a temporary crown while your permanent one is made. At your second appointment, we remove the temporary crown and check the fit and colour of your new crown. Once you are completely happy, we bond it securely in place. The whole process is straightforward and comfortable.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Crowns bring back full strength and function to damaged teeth. They allow you to bite, chew, and eat all your favourite foods with confidence. Because they are custom-made, they look and feel completely natural. No one will notice you have one. Crowns also stop further damage and prevent the need for extraction. They protect your natural tooth for many years. With proper brushing, flossing, and regular check-ups, your crown can last a lifetime.

How Should You Care For Your Crown?

Treat your crowned tooth just like your natural teeth. Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Floss carefully every day — gently slide the floss down and pull it out from the side, rather than snapping it up. Avoid chewing very hard foods such as ice or hard sweets. These can damage crowns just like natural teeth. Come in for your routine check-ups so we can make sure everything stays in perfect condition. We are always here to help.
