It’s natural to have questions about dental crowns and how they work to restore your teeth. We understand there may be some uncertainties about the procedure, but our team is here to provide clear explanations. Your dedicated Ivy Dental dentist will assess your specific needs and discuss whether dental crowns are the right solution for you. While every case is unique, the dental crown process typically involves a series of appointments, and generally follows these stages:
Your journey to a restored smile begins with a comprehensive assessment by your Ivy Dental dentist, whether you are a new or existing patient. Your dentist will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health, explain their findings, and discuss your goals and expectations. This collaborative approach ensures that the treatment plan aligns with your individual needs and desires.
The dental crown process at Ivy Dental involves a detailed oral assessment, including examination of the affected tooth. We will then provide you with a personalised treatment plan, outlining the procedure, the materials to be used, the costs involved, and the expected timeline. This consultation allows us to meticulously plan your crown restoration, ensuring optimal results.
To ensure a precise fit, the tooth receiving the crown will need to be carefully prepared. This preparation usually involves reshaping the tooth to create the necessary space for the crown to fit securely and look natural.
Following tooth preparation, we will take detailed impressions of your tooth. These impressions are sent to a dental laboratory, where skilled technicians will craft your custom crown. The crown is made from high-quality materials, designed to match the shade, shape, and size of your natural teeth.
Once your custom-made crown is ready, you will return to our practice for the fitting. Your dentist will carefully place the crown, ensuring it fits comfortably, functions correctly, and looks natural within your smile. The crown is then securely bonded to your prepared tooth, providing strength, protection, and a renewed appearance.
With proper care and maintenance, your dental crowns can provide long-lasting benefits. We will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your crowns, including optimal home care practices and a recommended schedule of professional check-ups. This guidance will help ensure the longevity of your crowns and the health of your surrounding teeth and gums.
We aim to make our approach and our fees as accessible as possible. Therefore, we have options for one-off treatments for non-members or membership programmes that provide continuity of care and best-value treatments, as well as features such as access to a global dental accident and emergency scheme. In addition, you can spread the cost of membership with interest free payments over 12 months via our finance provider, Practi, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
We understand that you may have queries before visiting us and we have aimed to answer some of the most frequently asked questions here. If you have anything else you would like to talk about however, please do not hesitate to call us – our team is always happy to help.
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged, weakened, or misshapen tooth, restoring its strength, function, and appearance.
You might need a crown to protect a tooth after a root canal, cover a cracked or broken tooth, support a dental bridge, or cover a severely worn or discolored tooth.
Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys, or a combination of these. The choice of material depends on your needs and preferences.
The process typically involves a few appointments: one for assessment and tooth preparation, another for taking impressions, and a final one for fitting the permanent crown.
Care for your crown like a natural tooth with regular brushing and flossing. Avoid biting on very hard foods, and maintain regular dental check-ups.
