A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged, weakened, or aesthetically compromised tooth. Crowns restore the tooth's shape, size, strength, and appearance while protecting it from further damage.
This treatment is ideal if you
- ✓Teeth that are cracked, chipped or heavily decayed
- ✓Teeth that have had root canal treatment
- ✓Severely worn, discoloured or misshapen teeth
- ✓Supporting a dental bridge or covering a dental implant
How it works
Assessment
We examine the tooth, take any necessary X-rays, and discuss whether a crown is the right option for your situation and what material would suit you best.
Preparation and impressions
The tooth is shaped to allow the crown to fit precisely over it. We take detailed impressions and fit a temporary crown to protect the tooth while yours is crafted.
Custom fabrication
Your crown is made in a specialist dental laboratory to exact specifications, carefully matched to the shade, shape and size of your natural teeth.
Final fitting
At your second appointment we remove the temporary, check the fit and aesthetics of your new crown, and bond it permanently in place.
When You Might Need a Crown
Crowns are recommended for teeth that are severely decayed, cracked or broken, weakened after root canal treatment, heavily filled, misshapen or discoloured, or supporting a dental bridge. They're also used to cover dental implants.
Crown Materials
We offer several high-quality crown materials: all-ceramic or porcelain crowns for the most natural appearance, zirconia crowns for exceptional strength and aesthetics, and porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns for a combination of strength and appearance. We'll help you choose the best option for your needs.
The Crown Process
Getting a crown typically requires two appointments. At the first visit, we prepare the tooth, take detailed impressions, and fit a temporary crown. At your second appointment (usually 2-3 weeks later), we remove the temporary and cement your permanent custom crown.
Caring for Your Crown
With proper care, crowns can last 15 years or more. Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing around your crown just as you would your natural teeth. Avoid biting very hard objects, and attend regular check-ups so we can monitor your crown's condition.

Calm and relaxed atmosphere right from the door. Friendly receptionist and a warm welcome from Geeta the dentist. Put my mind at rest straightaway about procedures and practices at the surgery. Geeta explained everything in detail after an examination of my teeth that was probably the most explorative check I've ever had in all my years. No hard sell and a genuine authentic explanation of my teeth (and related oral health). High tech equipment and no uncomfortable processes to map teeth and gums. In my views this is a totally professional service that's almost worth looking forward to.
Form is everything that a dental practice should be! I was nervous before attending but Laura and Andrea were professional and kind and put me at ease. Highly recommended!
This is hands down the best dentist I have ever visited in my life. It's like being at a 5 star resort/spa. They take a great deal of care ensuring the patient understands the rationale behind the treatment plan and procedures. Their equipment is state of the art and the team working there are simply great. I am so happy to have come across this dental practice.
Wonderful experience at Form Dental from start to finish. Welcoming receptionist in a calm, tranquil environment, followed by the most informative, caring yet professional hygienist appointment with Teresa, that I have ever experienced. So attentive to individual needs and concerns, including demonstration of correct flossing and brushing techniques. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Recently found this dentist and from walking in the welcome, the service and as you are leaving all is 10 out of 10. Gita (Dentist) is by far the best I have come across, takes time to explain all you need to know and with genuine care, and of course Andrea (assistant) also top notch. Together they are number one in the business. Highly recommend
So impressed with my friendly, knowledgeable dentist and the helpful and thorough appointment - lots of great advice. A beautiful clinic with great equipment and, best of all, they were brilliant with my 2 year old and even put tractors on the TV to make him feel welcome. Thank you so much!
