What Is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are one of the most reliable ways to restore and strengthen teeth that have been damaged, broken, heavily filled or weakened by decay. At Fitzroy Dental Practice, we create high-quality, bespoke crowns designed to look and feel completely natural, giving you long-lasting protection and confidence in your smile.
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits securely over your natural tooth. It restores the tooth’s strength, structure and appearance while preventing further deterioration. Dental Caps are used when a standard filling is not sufficient to support the tooth. Our clinicians offer a range of crown materials, including advanced ceramics that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for a discreet, aesthetic finish.
What Our Patients Say
When Are Dental Crowns Needed?
A crown may be recommended to:
Strengthen a damaged or weakened tooth
Protect a tooth after root canal treatment
Restore a broken or heavily filled tooth
Improve the shape, colour or appearance of a tooth
Support a traditional dental bridge
Dental Caps offer durability, stability and excellent cosmetic results, making them a versatile solution across general and restorative dentistry.
With good oral hygiene and routine dental check-ups, crowns can last for many years. Brushing twice daily, flossing and attending regular examinations will help extend the lifespan of your restoration.
How Are Dental Crowns Made?
Every dental crown at Fitzroy Dental Practice is crafted with precision to ensure comfort, strength and a natural appearance.
1. Assessment & Preparation
Your dentist assesses the damaged tooth and prepares its surface to create the ideal foundation for your new crown. This careful shaping helps ensure a secure and long-lasting result.
2. Impressions
We take precise impressions or use advanced digital scanning technology to capture the exact shape of your teeth. This information guides our technicians in crafting a crown that fits comfortably and blends naturally.
3. Custom Design and Creation
Your impressions are sent to our specialist dental laboratory, where skilled technicians design and manufacture your bespoke crown. The shade, contour and finish are tailored to match your surrounding teeth perfectly.
4. Final Crown Placement
Once ready, your custom-made crown is tried in, adjusted for comfort and then securely bonded in place. This final step restores both function and appearance, giving your tooth long-lasting protection.
