At Springmount Dental & Aesthetics, we are experts in a comprehensive array of cosmetic and general dental treatments. Our skilled dentists in Chesterfield & Matlock are dedicated to going above and beyond, ensuring that each treatment plan is precisely tailored to meet the individual needs of our patients. Every one of our treatments is crafted to help you look and feel your most confident. This includes our dental crown procedures, which are designed to restore both the function and appearance of your teeth.
A dental crown is used to restore the function of a tooth that is decayed or damaged, allowing it to regain its original shape and size and function like a natural tooth. There are several reasons you might need a dental crown, including:
A tooth that has become fragile following a root canal treatment
A cracked or broken tooth
A tooth that is so discoloured that veneers and whitening
treatments are not effective.
A small or misshapen tooth
A tooth that is damaged or decayed
A dental crown serves as a protective cover for a tooth, fitted over its existing structure to restore its shape, size, and appearance. Dental crowns can be color-matched to your existing teeth, making it virtually undetectable that you’ve undergone treatment. They are sometimes used to support dental implants—known as an implant crown—or to replace a missing tooth as part of a dental bridge treatment.
AN IMPLANT CROWN involves replacing the roots of a missing tooth with an implant, upon which a crown is then placed to form a complete false tooth.
A DENTAL BRIDGE addresses the gap left by missing teeth. It consists of two crowns on either side of the gap, with a false tooth between them.
Our dental surgeons in Chesterfield & Matlock will help you understand the best options during your consultation at our friendly private practice.
The process of fitting a dental crown at Springmount Dental & Aesthetics typically requires two appointments:
FIRST APPOINTMENT: This session includes a comprehensive mouth X-ray and a digital scan, utilizing the latest technology to avoid messy, gooey impressions. During this visit, the colour of your new crown will be selected. A temporary crown is then fitted to protect your tooth while the permanent crown is being crafted.
SECOND APPOINTMENT: During this visit, the temporary crown is removed, and the permanent, custom-made dental crown is securely applied, completing the restoration of your tooth.
Our use of advanced technology ensures a precise and comfortable experience throughout the dental crown process.
A dental crown is a hollow, artificial tooth designed to fit over your existing tooth after it has been trimmed and shaped. The crown covers and “caps” the entire tooth, extending down to the gum line. It restores the shape, color, and function of your tooth.
Dental crowns are used to repair teeth that are too decayed for a filling, treat infected teeth after root canals, or restore broken or cracked teeth due to oral trauma. To determine if a dental crown is right for you, contact Springmount for a consultation with one of our experts.
While crowns are primarily used for restorative dentistry, they can also serve as a cosmetic treatment in certain cases. For example, a severely misshapen tooth that cannot be corrected with dental bonding or veneers may need to be covered and capped with a dental crown.
You can care for a dental crown just like a natural tooth. Brush twice a day and clean interdentally once a day. Additionally, visit the Springmount team for an oral exam annually and teeth cleaning every six months.
