A strong, custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance.
A crown is used when a tooth is too damaged or weakened to be restored with a filling alone. This might follow significant decay, a break or crack, root canal treatment, or simply heavy wear over time. A crown wraps around the remaining tooth structure, protecting it and restoring its function.
We use porcelain crowns as standard at Everwell Dental. Porcelain closely replicates the translucency and colour of natural enamel, giving a result that is both strong and visually natural.
Join WaitlistWith good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, porcelain crowns typically last ten years or more. The tooth underneath still needs to be cared for, and the gum line around the crown should be brushed and flossed carefully each day.
We’re based at VMC House, Northfield Road, Southam, CV47 0FG — next to St Wulfstan Surgery, with free parking right outside and full ground-floor access. New patients are always welcome. Get in touch to find out more or to book your first appointment.
Yes. We take great care in matching the shade of your crown to your surrounding teeth. Porcelain crowns have a natural translucency that blends well with natural enamel.
The procedure is done under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn’t feel any discomfort during preparation. Some sensitivity is normal for a few days afterwards and usually settles quickly.
It’s uncommon, but it can happen if the cement holding the crown breaks down over time. If you notice a crown feels loose or comes off, get in touch with us as soon as possible and we’ll re-cement it or assess whether replacement is needed.
