A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fits over a prepared tooth. It is designed to restore the shape, size and function of a tooth while providing additional protection. Crowns may be recommended when a tooth has been significantly affected by decay, damage or previous dental treatment. They can also be used to restore teeth that have become weakened or worn.
Before recommending a crown, your dentist will assess the condition of the tooth, surrounding gums and your overall oral health. The aim of treatment is to provide a restoration that fits comfortably and allows you to use the tooth normally.
Not every damaged tooth requires a crown. Depending on the condition of the tooth, your dentist may recommend option.
Natural-looking crowns that closely match your teeth, making them a popular choice for visible front teeth and cosmetic dental treatments.

If you live in Slough and are concerned about a damaged or weakened tooth, a dental examination can help determine the most appropriate way to restore it. Your dentist will discuss your treatment options and answer any questions you may have before proceeding.
Your dentist will examine the tooth and surrounding tissues. X-rays or other diagnostic assessments may be recommended where clinically appropriate.
Once your tooth has been assessed, your dentist will explain the proposed treatment and discuss the available options with you.
If a crown is suitable, the tooth may need to be carefully reshaped to create enough space for the restoration.
Your dentist may take impressions or use digital scanning technology to record the shape and position of your teeth.
Depending on your treatment, a temporary crown may be placed while the final restoration is being prepared.
Once the final crown is ready, your dentist will check its fit, appearance and bite before securing it in place.
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fits over a prepared tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are commonly used when a tooth has been weakened by decay, cracks, large fillings, or other damage.
During treatment, the dentist prepares the affected tooth by removing a small amount of enamel to create space for the crown. An impression or digital scan is then taken to design a crown that fits the tooth and matches your bite. Once the crown is ready, it is carefully fitted and securely bonded in place.
A well-fitted dental crown can help protect the remaining tooth structure, restore chewing function, and improve the appearance of a damaged or heavily restored tooth.
Dental crowns are designed to provide long-term protection and restoration, but their lifespan can vary from patient to patient.
Several factors can affect how long a crown remains in good condition, including:

The lifespan of a crown varies from person to person. Oral hygiene, gum health, bite forces, grinding, diet and regular dental care can all affect the longevity of a restoration.
The tooth is normally prepared using local anaesthetic where appropriate. Your dentist will explain the procedure and discuss any concerns you have before treatment.
Some sensitivity or discomfort may occur after treatment, but your dentist can advise you about what to expect and what to do if you experience ongoing problems.
At Langley Road Dental Practice, dental crowns are priced according to the type of crown selected. Current fees are £550 for a full metal crown, £675 for a porcelain fused to metal crown, £850 for a zirconia crown and £1,050 for a gold crown. Crown re-cementation is £125. Your dentist will advise which options may be suitable following an assessment.
A crown may be recommended for some teeth following root canal treatment, particularly where additional protection is required. Your dentist will assess the tooth and advise whether a crown or another restoration is appropriate.
A crown may be considered for some cracked or damaged teeth, depending on the location and extent of the damage. Your dentist will need to examine the tooth before recommending treatment.
Continue brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, clean between your teeth daily and attend regular dental examinations. Maintaining healthy gums and the surrounding teeth is important for the long-term maintenance of your restoration.
If you have a damaged, weakened or heavily restored tooth, a dental examination can help determine whether a crown may be suitable.
