Get your smile back with natural-looking, long-lasting dental crowns at Manor House Dental. Our skilled dentists use advanced techniques to create crowns that are both beautiful and functional.
A dental crown, also known as a cap, is a common tooth restoration method. It’s placed over a damaged tooth to protect and strengthen it, improving appearance and alignment.
We recommend crowns for various reasons, such as covering a tooth after root canal treatment or protecting a weak tooth from breaking. Crowns can be made from materials like porcelain or metals.
The procedure typically involves two visits. During the first, your dentist numbs the area and removes a small amount of tooth enamel to make space for the crown. They then take an impression of your tooth to create a custom-made crown in a lab. In the meantime, a temporary crown is placed. The second visit involves removing the temporary crown and permanently cementing the custom-made crown onto your tooth.
Crowns provide support and prevent further damage to compromised teeth.
Crowns can rebuild the shape and function of teeth that are significantly chipped, broken, or worn down.
Crowns can cover up severe discolouration or staining, enhancing the aesthetics of your smile.
Crowns are placed on top of dental implants to complete the restoration and create a natural-looking tooth.
Avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes after crown placement to allow the cement to set properly.
Brushing is essential for maintaining oral hygiene, but be gentle around the crown. Avoid flossing directly around the crown until your dentist advises otherwise.
For the first few days, avoid chewing gum and any hard, sticky, or chewy foods like nuts, candy, raw vegetables, and tough meats.

No, your crown will not be noticeable. Every attempt will be made by your dentist and the lab creating the crown. Photographs will be taken of your natural teeth to ensure we create the best possible match.
A dental crown procedure will require at least two appointments with your dentist.
No, a local is used when the tooth is prepared. The procedure shouldn’t feel too different from a dental filling.
In some cases, a Venner may also be a successful treatment option. However, this will be dependent on the issue you are trying to fix.
