A clear dental crowns plan

We assess your oral health, explain suitable options and map out the next steps so people in Effingham and Effingham Junction know exactly what treatment involves.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped covering that completely encases the visible portion of a damaged or weakened tooth. Often called a "cap," a crown restores the tooth's shape, size, strength, and appearance, providing 360-degree protection that helps prevent further damage.

Unlike veneers which only cover the front surface, dental crowns encase the entire tooth above the gum line. This makes them ideal for teeth that have been significantly damaged by decay, cracks, or trauma, or teeth that have undergone root canal treatment and need extra protection.

At Forever Dental and Skin in Ashtead, Dr. Murray Pratt and Dr. Mary Talbot use advanced materials and precise techniques to create custom crowns that look and feel like your natural teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics for a lasting solution.

THE FDS DIFFERENCE

Why Choose Dental Crowns?

A durable, natural-looking restoration that protects and strengthens

Natural Appearance

Modern dental crowns blend seamlessly with your smile using premium materials that match your natural teeth in colour, shape, and translucency.

Restored Function

Eat normally without pain or sensitivity. Crowns restore full biting and chewing ability, allowing you to enjoy your favourite foods again.

Long-Lasting Solution

With proper care, dental crowns last 15-30 years, making them a durable investment that prevents costly future treatments and complications.

FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long does a dental crown last?

With proper care, dental crowns typically last 15-30 years. Gold crowns can last even longer, while porcelain crowns generally last 15-20 years.

Does getting a crown hurt?

No. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you won't feel pain during treatment. After the anaesthetic wears off, you may experience mild sensitivity for a few days.

What's the difference between a crown and a cap?

There is no difference - "crown" and "cap" are simply different names for the same dental restoration.

Do I need a crown after a root canal?

In most cases, yes. Root canal treatment removes the tooth's blood supply, making it brittle and prone to fracture. A crown protects the weakened tooth and restores its strength.

Can I eat normally with a dental crown?

Yes! Once your permanent crown is fitted and the cement has fully set (usually 24 hours), you can eat normally.

Will my crown look fake?

No. Modern dental crowns, especially all-porcelain and zirconia crowns, are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.

Can crowns fall off?

While rare, crowns can occasionally become loose. If this happens, save the crown and contact us immediately.

What type of crown is best?

The best crown depends on your specific needs. Porcelain and zirconia offer the best aesthetics for visible teeth. Gold or PFM crowns provide maximum durability for back molars.

How do I care for my crown?

Care for crowns exactly like natural teeth: brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, and visit your dentist regularly.

Will my crown stain?

Porcelain and zirconia crowns resist staining better than natural teeth and won't change colour from coffee, tea, or wine.
