All-Ceramic Crowns

Dental Crowns in Leicester

Your cosmetic dentist at Gipsy Lane Dental Practice is able to fit crowns and dental bridges to replace missing teeth. It is important to replace missing teeth so that extra strain is not placed on the teeth either side of the gap (this can lead to chipping, tooth decay and gum disease if food is packed into the gap).

What is a Dental Crown?

Crowns (also known as 'caps') can achieve artificial restoration of cracked, heavily filled or broken teeth by completely covering and protecting the tooth above the gum line. Unlike porcelain veneers, crowns cover the entire surface of the tooth making them both strong and durable. This type of treatment is often referred to as the 'Hollywood' smile makeovers. Crowns are a very effective way of restoring both your aesthetic appearance and your dental health by protecting against further damage to your tooth and against decay. They are carefully made to measure so that a natural and effective finish for each patient can be achieved.

FAQ's on All-Ceramic Crowns

Please click on any of the questions below to reveal the answer:

• What are the benefits of an All-Ceramic Crown?

  All-ceramic crowns offer excellent aesthetics by closely mimicking the natural look of teeth, making them ideal for front-tooth restorations. They are metal-free, biocompatible, and less likely to cause allergic reactions. These crowns are also stain-resistant, durable, and often require less removal of natural tooth structure, providing a strong and natural-looking restoration.

• Why would my Dentist recommend a Crown?

  A dentist may recommend a crown to restore and protect a damaged, weakened, or decayed tooth. Crowns are commonly used after root canal treatment, to cover large fillings, to repair cracked or broken teeth, or to improve the appearance of misshapen or discoloured teeth. They help restore function, strength, and appearance, preventing further damage.

• How will my Dentist fit my new Crown?

  Fitting a crown usually takes two visits. In the first visit, your dentist will examine and prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to fit the crown. Then, they’ll take an impression or digital scan to create a custom crown, and place a temporary crown to protect your tooth. At the second visit, once the permanent crown is ready, the dentist will remove the temporary one, check the fit and bite, and then cement the new crown in place.
