What are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns — also called tooth caps — are custom-made restorations that fit over a damaged or weakened tooth. Queens Gate Dental provide durable, natural-looking crowns designed to protect your teeth, restore function, and enhance your smile’s appearance. Whether your tooth is cracked, worn, or severely decayed, our team can help you regain strength, comfort, and confidence.
The Importance of Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are much more than cosmetic enhancements. They:
Protect weak or fractured teeth from further damage
Restore teeth after large fillings or root canal treatment
Improve the shape, colour, and alignment of teeth
Support dental bridges or top dental implants
Provide long-term strength and functionality
By restoring your tooth with a crown, you not only enhance your smile but also protect your overall dental health.
Dental Crown Treatment: What to expect
Your journey at Queens Gate Dental is always personalised and comfortable:
Examination & Consultation – Our dentist evaluates your tooth, sometimes with digital X-rays, to ensure a crown is the right solution.
Tooth Preparation – A thin layer of the tooth is shaped so the crown fits securely.
Impressions & Temporary Crown – We take precise impressions and place a temporary crown to protect your tooth.
Fitting the Final Crown – Once your custom-made crown is ready, it is securely bonded, giving you a strong and natural-looking result.
Most patients need a few visits, same-day crowns may sometimes be available.

FAQs About Dental Crowns
What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
A filling repairs a small area of tooth decay, while a crown covers the entire tooth, providing protection and strength when the damage is more extensive.
How long do dental crowns last?
With proper care, crowns typically last 10–15 years, and sometimes much longer. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene extend their lifespan.
Is getting a crown painful?
No — the procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, making it completely comfortable. You may feel mild sensitivity after treatment, which settles quickly.
Can crowns look natural?
Yes, porcelain and zirconia crowns are colour-matched to your teeth for a seamless, natural result.
Are crowns only for damaged teeth?
Not at all. Crowns are also used to improve the appearance of misshapen or discoloured teeth, or to support dental bridges and implants.
Will I need a root canal before a crown?
Not always. Root canal treatment is only needed if the tooth’s nerve is infected. Many crowns are placed on healthy, non-root-treated teeth.
Can dental crowns be whitened?
No — crowns cannot be whitened with bleaching products. If you plan on whitening your teeth, it should be done before fitting a crown so the shade matches.
What is the difference between porcelain and zirconia crowns?
Porcelain crowns provide excellent aesthetics, while zirconia crowns offer extra strength and durability, especially for back teeth.
How much do dental crowns cost?
The price varies depending on the crown type and complexity of treatment. We’ll provide a transparent estimate after your consultation.
