Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a strong, custom-made restoration that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth to protect it, restore its shape and improve its appearance. At Sprotbrough Dental Practice, we provide high-quality dental crowns designed to strengthen teeth, improve comfort and create a natural-looking smile.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is sometimes known as a cap. It covers the visible part of the tooth above the gum line and is used to restore teeth that are damaged, worn, weak or heavily restored. Dental crowns are often recommended when a tooth cannot be repaired effectively with a filling alone.
We offer a range of crown options to suit both clinical and cosmetic needs, including porcelain, ceramic and porcelain-bonded crowns.
When Is a Dental Crown Needed?
You may need a dental crown if you have:
A cracked, broken or worn tooth
A tooth weakened by a large filling
A tooth after root canal treatment
A badly decayed tooth that needs extra protection
A misshapen or severely discoloured tooth
A dental implant requiring a final crown restoration
Types of Dental Crown
We provide different types of dental crowns depending on the position of the tooth, your bite and your treatment goals.
All Porcelain Crowns
Popular for visible teeth because they are designed to blend in with your natural smile.
Porcelain Bonded Crowns
Combine a strong metal base with a tooth-coloured outer layer for a balance of strength and appearance.
Metal Crowns
Very durable and may be recommended for back teeth in some cases where strength takes priority.
During your consultation, we will explain the options clearly and help you decide which type of crown is right for you.

The Crown Procedure
Consultation and Examination
We begin with a detailed assessment of your tooth and overall oral health. We may take X-rays if needed and will discuss whether a crown is the best treatment option.
Tooth Preparation
The tooth is carefully reshaped to create room for the crown. If the tooth has lost a lot of structure, it may need rebuilding first.
Digital Scan or Impression
We take an accurate scan or impression so your custom crown can be made to fit securely and comfortably.
Temporary Crown
In many cases, a temporary crown is placed while your final crown is being made.
Final Crown Fitting
At your fitting appointment, we check the fit, appearance and bite before securing the crown in place.
Crowns After Root Canal Treatment
A tooth can become more brittle after root canal treatment, which means it may be more likely to fracture over time. In many cases, a dental crown is recommended to protect the tooth and restore its strength. If you have recently had root canal treatment completed, we can advise whether a crown is the best next step.
How Long Do Crowns Last?
With proper care, dental crowns can often last for many years. To keep your crown in good condition:
Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
Clean between your teeth daily
Attend regular dental check-ups and hygiene visits
Avoid biting very hard objects
Wear a mouthguard if you grind your teeth at night
