TREATMENT OVERVIEW

What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a protective cap placed over a tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are commonly used when a tooth is too damaged for a filling but still healthy enough to be preserved — offering a durable, long-term solution that maintains the natural tooth rather than extracting it.

Crowns are made from high-quality porcelain or porcelain-fused materials that closely mimic natural enamel in both colour and translucency. Once fitted, they allow normal biting and chewing while shielding the tooth from fracture or further decay.

Crowns are often recommended after root canal treatment, large or failing fillings, or where a tooth has fractured and needs full coverage to restore its integrity.

THE PROCESS

Your Dental Crown Treatment Journey

Explore examples of smile transformations achieved through whitening, bonding, Invisalign, and restorative dentistry.
Examination & Planning
We assess the tooth in detail — including X-rays where needed — and confirm whether a crown is the most appropriate solution. We'll explain all options clearly before any treatment is agreed.
Tooth Preparation & Impressions
The tooth is gently shaped to create space for the crown. Impressions or digital scans are taken so your crown can be crafted to fit precisely.
Crown Placement
Once your custom crown is ready, it is carefully fitted, adjusted for bite, and bonded securely into place.
Final Review
We check your comfort, bite balance, and the appearance of the crown before finalising treatment. Any fine adjustments are made at this stage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns

With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, dental crowns can last many years — often 10–15 years or longer. Longevity depends on factors such as your oral hygiene routine, bite forces, whether you grind your teeth, and how well the crown is maintained. We'll advise you on the best way to care for your crown to maximise its lifespan.

Yes. Modern dental crowns are made from high-quality porcelain that closely mimics the colour, shape, and translucency of natural teeth. Your crown is individually colour-matched to blend with the surrounding teeth, making it very difficult to distinguish from a natural tooth. At Barker Dental Care, aesthetics are always considered alongside function when planning crown treatment.

Crown treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn't feel any pain during the procedure. After the anaesthetic wears off, some mild sensitivity or tenderness around the treated tooth is normal and usually settles within a few days. We'll provide clear aftercare guidance and are always available if you have concerns following treatment.

Crowns typically require two appointments. At the first visit, the tooth is prepared and impressions or scans are taken. A temporary crown may be placed to protect the tooth while your permanent crown is being made. At the second visit, the finished crown is fitted, adjusted, and bonded into place. The exact timeline can vary depending on the complexity of the case.

For heavily damaged or weakened teeth, crowns offer significantly greater strength and protection than fillings. A large filling in a compromised tooth leaves the remaining structure vulnerable to fracture, whereas a crown encases the entire visible portion of the tooth and distributes bite forces more evenly. That said, we always recommend the most conservative option appropriate for your specific situation.

If your tooth is structurally weakened but still restorable, a crown is often the most effective long-term solution. Suitability depends on the extent of the damage, the health of the surrounding gum and bone, and your overall oral health. A consultation at Barker Dental Care in Sarisbury Green will allow us to assess your tooth properly and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
