Dental crowns are custom-made restorations designed to fully cover and protect damaged, weakened, or heavily filled teeth. They restore the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance while blending naturally with your surrounding teeth. Crowns are commonly used after root canal treatment, to repair broken teeth, or to improve the appearance of misshapen or discoloured teeth.
At Whitchurch Smiles, we provide high-quality crowns made from durable, natural-looking materials such as porcelain or ceramic. Each crown is carefully crafted to match the colour and contour of your existing teeth, ensuring a comfortable fit and a seamless finish. With proper care, dental crowns offer long-lasting protection and help restore both function and confidence in your smile.

Crowns are recommended for teeth that are broken, heavily filled, worn down, or have had root canal treatment, or when a tooth needs extra protection.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, crowns can last 10–15 years or longer depending on care and bite forces.
No, the procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so it is generally comfortable. Some mild sensitivity may occur afterwards.
Crowns can be made from porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination. At Whitchurch Smiles, we often use tooth-coloured materials for a natural look.
