Dental crowns in Littleborough
A damaged or broken tooth can drain your confidence, and can become a bigger problem if it is left. A crown protects it and restores a healthy, bright smile.
About dental crowns
Dental crowns are a permanent, practical and cosmetic solution for damaged teeth. If we cannot repair your tooth with a simple filling or inlay, we will usually recommend a crown, which fits over the whole visible part of the tooth like a cap.
We offer gold and ceramic crowns. If you would prefer no metal at all, we can fit Procera or e.max all-ceramic crowns where they are suitable for your teeth.
Dental Crowns
When a crown is the right choice
Large fillings
When a tooth is more filling than tooth, a crown holds it together.
After root canal
Root-filled back teeth are more brittle, and a crown protects them from cracking.
Cracked or broken teeth
A crown can rescue a tooth that has split or lost a large corner.
Appearance
Badly discoloured or misshapen teeth can be transformed with a natural-looking crown.
What happens
Three calm steps
Step 1: Prepare
Your dentist gently shapes the tooth so the crown can fit over it.
Step 2: Impression
We take an impression, which goes to a dental laboratory to make your crown. You wear a temporary in the meantime.
Step 3: Fit
We check the fit, colour and bite, then cement your new crown in place with a special adhesive.
