Dental Crowns in Leicester
A dental crown is a type of cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength and appearance. Crowns are commonly used to repair teeth that are broken, worn down, heavily filled or following root canal treatment. They can also be used to improve the appearance of a misshapen or discoloured tooth.
At Carisbrooke Specialist Dental Centre, we offer crowns made from a range of materials, including metal, porcelain fused to metal, and all-ceramic. Your dentist will help you choose the best option for your needs, taking into account the tooth's location, the forces it will need to withstand, and how it will look alongside your other teeth.
To prepare for a crown, the existing tooth is gently shaped into a smooth peg to create space. We then take a detailed impression and place a temporary crown while your final restoration is being made.
All of our crowns are handmade in our on-site dental laboratory by experienced technicians who work closely with your dentist throughout the process. This allows for greater precision, better communication and faster turnaround times. Your permanent crown will be carefully shaded and shaped to blend in naturally with your surrounding teeth, giving you both strength and a seamless finish.
What is a dental crown?
A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a real tooth to restore its strength, shape and appearance.
Why might I need a crown?
Crowns are used to protect and restore teeth that are broken, decayed, weakened by large fillings, or have had root canal treatment.
How long does it take to get a crown?
It usually takes two appointments. A temporary crown is fitted during your first visit, while the permanent crown is made in our lab.
Will the crown look natural?
Yes. We take care to match the colour and shape of your crown to your natural teeth for the most aesthetic result.
