Damaged or Weakened Tooth? A Dental Crown Could Help

A dental crown fits over an existing tooth to restore its strength and shape, ideal for teeth that have been damaged or weakened but still have a healthy root underneath.

Crowns are custom-made using ceramic materials designed to match the colour and shape of your natural teeth, so the result looks and feels like a whole, healthy tooth again.

We welcome dental crown patients from Derby, Hilton, and the surrounding towns and villages of South Derbyshire, including Willington, Etwall, Hatton, Egginton, Tutbury and Burton upon Trent, all within easy reach of our practice on Welland Road.

Is a Dental Crown right for you?

Most patients with a heavily filled, cracked, or weakened tooth can be treated with a crown. A few things need checking first, and we'd rather tell you at the consultation than partway through.

  • Cracked or fractured teeth
  • Teeth weakened after root canal treatment
  • Patients wanting to restore a tooth's shape and strength
  • Anyone wanting a natural-looking, long-lasting repair

May Need Assessment

  • Extensive decay below the gum line

FAQs

Does getting a crown hurt?

The tooth is numbed with local anaesthetic before preparation, so you shouldn't feel pain during the procedure.

How long does the crown process take?

Treatment is usually staged over a couple of visits, with a temporary crown protecting your tooth while the permanent one is made in the laboratory.

Are dental Crowns available on the NHS?

As a private practice, we provide Crowns as part of your personalised treatment plan. Book a consultation with us to talk through your options.

How long do Crowns last?

With good care and regular check-ups, a crown can last many years.

Can I eat normally with a crown?

Yes, once your permanent crown is fitted you can eat as normal, though we'd always recommend good oral hygiene to help it last.
