Dental Crowns Brighton

Why choose a crown?

Dental crowns are a comprehensive solution for teeth that have lost structure, function and appearance. They fit snugly over your natural tooth, providing a full restoration, boosting your confidence and improving the way you eat and speak.

Crowns can also support a dental bridge, and are often used alongside dental implants and root canal treatment to ensure a reliable and highly aesthetic finish that restores both the health and appearance of your smile.

What does the treatment involve?

To begin, we assess your tooth, making sure the internal structure is intact and there are no signs of infection present. We remove a thin layer of outer tooth enamel to prepare your tooth for the crown, leaving a strong core.
We take digital images of your teeth, which are used to ensure your crown fits perfectly and looks like a natural part of your smile. We protect your prepared tooth with a temporary crown between appointments.
When your new crown is ready, we remove the temporary one and fix your final restoration in place using strong dental cement.

Frequently asked questions

: The best way to care for your crown is to stay on top of your oral hygiene – this means keeping your teeth and gums healthy by brushing with a fluoride toothpaste twice a day and flossing between your teeth. You also need to see your dentist regularly for check-ups so they can keep an eye on your crown and the tooth underneath. 
: You are able to choose the colour of your crown, based on your personal preferences. We may advise you of the shade which would best match your natural tooth colour, but it is ultimately up to you. If you are considering having whitening treatment, you may prefer to have this treatment first, as whitening is not effective on crowns and your crown can then be made to match your new shade.
: Tooth crowns are not permanent, and will need replacing or repairing at some point. The treatment process is irreversible as some of your natural dental enamel is removed in order to accommodate the crown on top, so you will always need a crown on your tooth. Most crowns last for up to 10-15 years before natural wear and tear will likely cause the need for removal and replacement. 
: We use local anaesthetic to numb the affected area before preparing your tooth for a crown, and fitting the crown itself to make sure you won’t feel any pain. We take the time to ensure you feel relaxed and comfortable before beginning any treatment. Many patients find that having a crown is no more uncomfortable than a filling.
