Restore Strength, Function & Beauty
with Trusted Dental Crown Specialists in Northwood.
Dental crowns are custom-made covers that protect and restore damaged or weakened teeth. They bring back strength, function, and a natural appearance, blending seamlessly with your smile.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A crown fits over a damaged or fragile tooth to protect it, restore its shape, and ensure it functions like a natural tooth. Each crown is carefully crafted to match the colour, shape, and bite of your existing teeth, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing result.
What Can Crowns Do for You?
- Restore Damaged Teeth – Reinforce cracked, broken, or worn-down teeth.
- Support Large Fillings – Hold weakened teeth together and prevent further damage.
- Protect Root Canal-Treated Teeth – Restore strength and function after root treatment.
- Improve Appearance – Reshape uneven or misshapen teeth for a harmonious smile.
- Anchor Dental Bridges – Securely hold bridges in place to replace missing teeth.
What to Expect During a Crown Appointment
1. Consultation & Assessment
We examine your tooth, discuss your options, and plan your custom crown.
2. Tooth Preparation & Scanning
The tooth is gently shaped to fit the crown, then a digital scan or mould is taken for a precise, personalised fit. Temporary crowns may be placed if needed.
3. Crown Fitting & Bonding
At your next visit, the crown is carefully fitted, checked for colour and bite, and bonded into place. Some crowns can even be made and fitted on the same day depending on material and tooth location.
Aftercare for Longevity & Comfort
- First 24–48 Hours – Avoid very sticky or hard foods if you had anaesthetic or a temporary crown.
- Daily Cleaning – Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and clean between teeth to protect your crown margins.
- Protection from Grinding – Nightguards can help if you clench or grind your teeth.
- Call Us If – The crown feels high, loose, or sensitivity persists.
