A crown that lasts for restored confidence
Dental crowns are dental restorations that strengthen your existing, damaged tooth in order to preserve its functionality and improve its appearance.
Dental crowns are sometimes known as tooth caps because the crown sits over your existing tooth and covers the entire outer surface.
Dental crowns can be made from full gold, or from an alloy of metals fused to a porcelain outer shell.
All-porcelain or ceramic crowns are the best choice for a natural cosmetic look. There are many different brands and types of porcelain crowns, and the variation between the costs of dental crowns reflect the quality of the materials used.
The perfect fix for damaged teeth
A dental crown is placed over the remains of a tooth that may be too damaged to simply place a filling or to benefit from a dental inlay or onlay. Crowns are often used to protect and improve the look of a tooth and are commonly used after a tooth has had root canal treatment.
At Leeds Wellness Dental Implant & Aesthetics Care we use a variety of dental laboratories to create bespoke crowns for our patients. Whilst some dental practices use in house ceramic milling machines, we believe that the artistic and technical skill of a good dental technician is vital. Computers cannot be as creative or quality-conscious as a good technician.
Frequently asked questions about dental crowns
Why do some crowns go black around the gum line?
After time, crowns that are made from a combination of metal fused to porcelain can begin to show dark gum lines that are not Aestheticsally attractive. This can be avoided by using precious metals such as gold.
Do dental crowns look nice?
Dental crowns can look like your natural teeth. Because dental crowns encase the visible area of a tooth, porcelain crowns can be colour matched and can be used to enhance the cosmetic appearance of a tooth. Our Far Headingley team uses high quality dental laboratories to create Aestheticsally pleasing dental crowns.
How long do dental crowns last?
If properly maintained and if you follow a good oral hygiene routine, dental crowns can last for over ten years.
How do I take care of my dental crowns?
Dental crowns require good dental hygiene routines. This includes brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and rinsing with an antimicrobial mouthwash. It is also important to attend regular dental check-ups to ensure the crown remains in good condition and any issues are addressed quickly by your dentist.
How much do dental crowns cost?
See our current dental fee guide for an idea of cost. As with any product or service there are cheap dental crowns and there are expensive ones. We recognise that people have different priorities both financially and aesthetically, so we will help craft a bespoke dental treatment plan for you.
