- Can be used after root canal treatment for an aesthetic finish
What does the treatment involve?
We first ensure that the internal structure of the tooth is intact and that there are no signs of infection present. We use local anaesthetic to numb your tooth, and prepare it by removing a layer of tooth structure, making sure we leave a strong core.
We take digital scans or impressions of your teeth and record their colour so your crown can be made to perfectly fit your smile. It is hand-created by a skilled technician in a local dental laboratory. Between appointments, we protect the prepared tooth with a temporary crown.
When your crown is ready, the temporary crown is removed and the new permanent one is fixed in place with a strong dental cement.

Frequently asked questions

The best way to look after your new dental crown is to treat it just like your natural teeth. It’s all about maintaining excellent oral hygiene – brush your teeth twice a day using fluoride toothpaste and floss or use interdental brushes daily. You also need to see your dentist regularly for check-ups so they can keep an eye on your crown and the tooth underneath.
