At The Smile Gallery, you have the choice of metal-based or full ceramic crowns. Your dentist will begin by administering a local anaesthetic and filing your tooth down to the correct size and shape to accommodate the crown.

If you’ve opted for a metal-based crown, the dentist will take an impression of your prepared tooth and send it away to a specialist laboratory to have your crown made.

Two weeks later, you will return to have it fitted. The dentist will place the crown over your prepared tooth, checking it for a proper fit before permanently sealing it in place with a dental adhesive.

If you choose a ceramic crown, we can complete your preparation and fitting on the same day. Instead of taking an impression, the dentist will capture a digital scan of your tooth and transfer the data to our CEREC^®restoration milling technology.

The machine will fabricate your bespoke-made porcelain crown while you wait. Once it’s ready, we can fit it for you there and then.

If you would like to find out more about dental crowns, Call The Smile Gallery on 01342 321 094 or click here to book an appointment.
