A dental crown is a custom-made cover that fits over a damaged tooth to strengthen it and restore its appearance. It can help bring a tooth back to a more natural look and feel, while also protecting what remains of the tooth.
At Dental Spa Solutions, crowns may be recommended if a tooth is badly decayed, weakened, damaged, or has had root canal treatment. They can also be used to help support a dental bridge.

Crowns can help preserve a tooth that might otherwise be at risk of being lost.
Crowns are designed to:
Each crown is planned around the individual tooth and situation, so the treatment is tailored to your needs.
Treatment usually begins with a consultation, where we assess the tooth and discuss whether a crown is the best option.
The main stages are:
Preparation
The tooth is carefully shaped so the crown can fit properly.
Impression or scan
We take an impression or digital scan to help create your custom crown.
Temporary crown
A temporary crown is usually fitted while the final one is being made.
Final fitting
The finished crown is placed and bonded securely into position.
In many cases, the crown is matched carefully to your other teeth so it blends in naturally.
We aim to make treatment as comfortable as possible and will talk you through the process before we begin. After your crown is fitted, it may take a little time to get used to it, but most patients settle in quickly.
If you have any concerns after treatment, we are always happy to review it.
If you think you may need a dental crown, or would like advice about a damaged tooth, please get in touch with Dental Spa Solutions. We are here to help and can talk you through the best next steps.
