At Halo Dental, we provide dental crowns in Sevenoaks to restore the strength, function, and appearance of damaged teeth.
Crowns are a versatile treatment option for patients who want to protect weakened teeth, improve their smile, or support other dental work. Designed to look natural, crowns can give you confidence in both your bite and your smile.
What are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth. Crowns can be made from porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of materials, and they are designed to match the shape and colour of your natural teeth. They are often recommended when a tooth has been broken, worn down, or treated with a large filling or root canal. At Halo Dental, crowns are fitted with precision to ensure comfort and a natural look.
Benefits and Suitability
Dental crowns in Sevenoaks can help to:
- Protect teeth that are cracked, weakened, or heavily filled.
- Restore teeth after root canal treatment.
- Improve the appearance of worn or misshapen teeth.
- Secure a dental bridge in place or cover a dental implant.
Most patients with sufficient tooth structure and healthy gums are suitable for crowns. Your dentist at Halo Dental will assess your needs carefully to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
The Treatment Process
The process of fitting a crown usually takes two appointments. At your first visit, the tooth is shaped and prepared, and impressions are taken for your custom crown. A temporary crown may be fitted to protect your tooth in the meantime. At the second visit, your permanent crown is securely bonded into place, with adjustments made to ensure it feels comfortable and looks natural.
Aftercare & Next Steps
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, dental crowns can last many years. Brushing, flossing, and avoiding habits such as teeth grinding or chewing hard objects will help protect them.
