A broken, heavily filled or weakened tooth can make eating uncomfortable and may be at risk of further damage.

A dental crown can protect the remaining tooth while restoring its shape, strength and appearance.

At Castle Bromwich Dental Care, we provide custom-made dental crowns designed to complement your smile and bite.

What is a dental crown?

A dental crown, sometimes called a cap, is a fixed restoration that covers the visible part of a prepared tooth.

A crown may be recommended to:

  • Protect a weakened or heavily filled tooth.
  • Restore a broken, cracked or worn tooth.
  • Protect certain teeth after root canal treatment.
  • Improve the shape or appearance of a tooth.
  • Support a dental bridge.
  • Complete a dental implant restoration.

Benefits of dental crowns

  • Protect weakened teeth: A crown covers and supports the remaining tooth structure.
  • Restore function: Rebuilding the tooth’s shape can make biting and chewing more comfortable.
  • Create a natural appearance: Tooth coloured crowns are designed to complement your surrounding teeth.
  • Preserve your tooth: A crown may help retain a damaged tooth that would otherwise be at greater risk of fracture.

Frequently asked questions

1. What are crowns made from?

Crowns may be made from ceramic, zirconia, porcelain fused to metal or dental alloys. The best material will depend on the tooth’s position, your bite, appearance and other clinical factors.

2. What happens during treatment?

Treatment usually requires two appointments.

At the first visit, the tooth is numbed and carefully shaped. A digital scan or impression is taken, and a temporary crown is fitted while the dental laboratory creates your final restoration.

At the second visit, the temporary crown is removed. Your dentist checks the fit, appearance and bite before securely cementing the new crown.

3. Does crown treatment hurt?

Local anaesthetic is normally used, so you should remain comfortable during treatment. The tooth or surrounding gum may feel sensitive for a short time afterwards.

4. Will my crown look natural?

For tooth coloured crowns, the shade, shape and proportions are carefully selected to complement your smile. The aim is to create an attractive restoration that blends with the surrounding teeth.

5. How long does a crown last?

A crown can remain functional for many years, but it will not last indefinitely. Its lifespan depends on the supporting tooth, crown material, oral hygiene, diet, bite and whether you grind your teeth.

6. Can a crowned tooth still decay?

Yes. The crown cannot decay, but the natural tooth underneath remains vulnerable, particularly around its edges. Effective brushing, cleaning between the teeth and regular dental examinations remain essential.

7. Will I need root canal treatment?

Not every crowned tooth requires root canal treatment. However, a tooth that is deeply filled, damaged or inflamed may require it before or after the crown is fitted.

Your dentist will assess the tooth and explain the individual risks before treatment.

8. How do I care for my crown?

  • Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
  • Clean between your teeth every day.
  • Limit frequent sugary foods and drinks.
  • Avoid biting very hard objects.
  • Attend regular dental examinations.
  • Wear a night guard if advised.

9. Are there alternatives to a crown?

Depending on the tooth, alternatives may include a filling, composite buildup, inlay, onlay or veneer. If the tooth cannot be restored, extraction may need to be considered.

Your dentist will explain the most suitable options after examining the tooth.

    I’m extremely happy with my teeth bonding and my new smile! From start to finish, I felt very comfortable and well looked after. The result looks really natural and has made a huge difference to my smile and confidence.

    Dr Zunezo Sadiq was professional, patient and really listened to what I wanted. I’m genuinely very pleased with the final result and would definitely recommend the practice to anyone considering cosmetic dental treatment.

    I have had a phobia of dentists for donkeys years, hence the problems I'm having now and have only been a patient here for months rather than years, but I would not go anywhere else. Dr. Zulfikar Alam is a wonderful dentist - he is patient, explains everything, reduces my anxiety and is excellent at his job. I would like to thank him for his patience and perseverance this week, after a very difficult extraction! Thank you so much and kind regards.

  • My Dental Practice. Reliable good doctors and very efficient.
