Dental Crowns
Dental crowns in peterborough
Dental Crowns, also known as dental caps, completely cover a damaged tooth. They not only restore the tooth’s natural shape but also strengthen it, helping to prevent further damage. Each Crown is custom-made and coloured to match your natural teeth, enhancing appearance and functionality.
We use Crowns for various reasons, but they are most commonly employed to protect or cover a broken or severely decayed tooth so that it can be used normally.
Typically, a Dental Crown requires two visits to our practice. We prepare the damaged tooth during the first appointment and place a temporary crown to protect it. Our specialised laboratory then constructs the permanent crown from your chosen material. On your second visit, we will fit the crown, and once you are satisfied with its appearance, we will securely cement it in place.
Choosing A Crown
Guided by our peterborough dentists
- Ceramic: most natural but weaker than metal reinforced crowns
- Porcelain Bonded Zirconium: natural in appearance, but requires more space
- Porcelain Bonded Alloy: alloy metal substructure with applied porcelain layers
- Zirconium: long lasting, chemically unreactive
- Gold: strong, long lasting, highly resistant to wear and corrosion
- Same Day: Porcelain crown, fitted same day as visit
Your dental crown should last 10-15 years.
Intraoral scanning technology allows for same-day procedures.
