Crowns

Crowns are advised when it is necessary to protect, strengthen and restore teeth. They may also be used to cover discoloured or misshapen teeth to improve the overall appearance of your smile.

Available in a range of materials, our crowns permanently sit over the entire visible surface of your existing tooth and are made to look as real as your own natural tooth.

The procedure takes two appointments. At the first appointment, we minimally shape the tooth and place a temporary crown. About 14 days later at your second appointment, we remove the temporary crown, place your new crown and check the fit and your bite.

The crown can last for many years if good oral hygiene is maintained, depending on the condition of the original tooth. Additional care should be taken to keep the crown and surrounding area clean. Your Oakmead Dental Care dentist or dental hygienist will recommend an appropriate home care regime.

Having been in pain for five days I was pleased to (at last) be seen. The dentist xrayed and explained the problem with my tooth, leaving me to make a decision as to what I wanted to do. I was given a prescription for antibiotics which I was told should take the pain away. I am to discuss the next step when I have my routine check up next week.

Oakmead combines everything you hope for in a dental appointment, from beginning to end. The Reception team are superb - welcoming, personable, smiling, efficient and reassuring - and the clinician and hygienist are the best too! I am so fortunate to be a patient there.
