Repair Your Smile with a Preston Dental Crown




Dental crown is the best and the most aesthetic means to protect and reconstruct a damaged tooth!

Do broken, worn, or decayed teeth make you self-conscious when you smile? Dental crowns are caps that resemble the shape and overall appearance of a natural tooth, and are used to cover a natural tooth to improve its function and/or appearance. Dental crowns fit snugly over damaged teeth to enhance their structural integrity. Beautiful, life-like porcelain crowns can give you a whiter, healthier smile that you'll be ecstatic to share.

When dental crowns are cemented into place, they fully enclose the part of the tooth that can be seen at and above the gum line. A dental crown is essentially a new exterior for your teeth.

Dental crowns can help you in the following dental conditions:

  • When a broken or worn tooth needs its appearance and function to be restored, dental crowns can provide a more permanent solution than fillings.
  • Dental crowns can cover a tooth with a large filling, especially if there is very little tooth left to support the whole structure.
  • A cracked tooth, or one that has been weakened by tooth decay, can be saved from further damage by dental porcelain crowns.
  • Dental crowns can also be used to cover a tooth that is badly shaped, or has been severely discolored, to improve the overall appearance of the teeth.
  • To replace missing teeth with dental implants.

Types of Dental Crowns:

Types of Crowns we use in the Clinic Regularly
Characteristics of each type of crown
Zirconium Oxide
High Strength, Fantastic Aesthetics
Full Porcelain
Medium Strength, Excellent Aesthetics
Gradia
Medium Strength, Good Aesthetics
Porcelain Fused to Metal
High Strength, Average Aesthetics



Full Porcelain crowns (Zirconium) becoming increasingly popular. Procera™ Full Porcelain Crowns are particularly recommended for front teeth as they are metal free and have the same translucence as normal teeth, giving a completely natural look to the replacement tooth.

Full Porcelain Crowns also ensure there will be no problem with the appearance of a fine dark line of metal at the base of the crown that can sometimes happen if gum recession occurs , With the strength of modern materials now used in their construction, they can also be placed anywhere in the mouth.

Gradia Crowns
Gradia is a unique light cured micro ceramic composite system for crowns, which creates an excellent aesthetic appearance compared with conventional composites.

Porcelain Fused to Metal Crowns
Porcelain fused to gold Crowns are the strongest and longest lasting Crowns because of the inherent strength advantage of a gold base. These Crowns are mainly used for back teeth restoration.


Factors affecting the price: Dental crowns:

  • Type of crown. ( materials and technique used)
  • Clinicians experience and expertise in the field of cosmetic dentistry.
  • Any additional work that may be required e.g. Core build-up , teeth whitening . . .



Dental Crown treatment is arranged in the following steps:

• Preparation of the teeth
• Impression taking
• Construction of the crown
• Insertion of the final Crown
Short term Temporary Crowns will usually be fitted during the construction period.



Cosmetic dentists are currently using a new digital system to automatically make an instant crown. Through digital technology a 3D picture of the tooth is taken, and a crown is milled simultaneously to accurately cut the exact crown in minutes.

Using cad-cam system has several advantages. A patient can walk out of the dental surgery in one sitting with a perfectly fitted and bonded crown without having to wait for a laboratory to custom make a crown.

There is no temporary crown, no lab waiting time and only one visit to your dentist. but the main disadvantage of the Cerec technology is that they cannot be used on front teeth where an exact colour gradient and match with the existing teeth is best left to a professional laboratory, as the machine mills crowns from a block of ceramic loaded into the machine. The, colour gradient can be fully customized.

This laser technology is perfectly acceptable on the back teeth, where subtle colour variations are impossible to detect.

Dental Crowns Preston Dental Bridges Cost





Traditionally, people with missing teeth, or structural tooth problems, like fractures or teeth severely damaged by decay, were subject to endless dentist visits and a mouthful of very unnatural looking false teeth. We have advanced the science of crowns and bridges to offer solutions that remedy problems safely and restore a full, attractive, natural smile.


When a tooth is fractured, has a large, old filling, or is severely damaged through decay, we may recommend the placement of a crown, or cap. Dental crowns strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure and can improve the appearance of your smile. Types of crowns include the full porcelain crown, the porcelain-fused-to-metal crown and different variations of these. Crowns surround the entire tooth, unlike a veneer which just covers the visible surface of the tooth. Fitting a crown requires at least two dental visits.

Before crowns, the only real option for a broken down tooth was extraction. Crowns have given dentists, and in turn patients, the ability to fix certain dental situations.

Cavities, or dental decay, occur when acid-forming bacteria in the mouth are supplied with sugars. With these sugars as their food, the bacteria produce acid that eats away at the tooth, creating cavities. Usually, caries can be removed and filled with tooth-colored composite fillings. However once too much of the tooth structure is lost, fillings will no longer suffice and the tooth will need to either be extracted or crowned.

In addition to cavities, age, wear, and fracture are other reasons a tooth may require a crown. With age, teeth tend to turn yellow, wear down, chip, and become less attractive. In addition, teeth can fracture from over-use or by accident. In these situations as well, crowns are a great way to restore function, esthetics, and beauty to a smile.

Crowns are customized per patient, so to state their exact cost is not possible. However, when faced with the alternative of extraction, crowns are a great, simple, and cost effective way to save a tooth.

Teeth are part of your body, and an extremely important part at that. To extract a tooth instead of letting it function in your mouth for years to come. In two easy visits, crowns can transform your smile back to health and an ideal cosmetic beauty, and keep it that way for many years if not the rest of your life.

Making a crown for a tooth is a multi-step procedure usually requiring 2 visits :

1.) Preparation of Tooth: First, the tooth must be prepared for the crown. This preparation involved removing approximately 1-2mm of tooth structure from around the entire visible tooth. Usually, much of the tooth that is removed has already been damaged by decay and/or fracture.

2.) Impression: Next, an impression of the prepared tooth is taken. This impression is send to the dental laboratory so that they can create a new crown for the tooth that fits on to the prepared tooth exactly.

3.) Temporaries: After the preparation of the tooth, a temporary crown is placed on the tooth so the patient can function normally between appointments. This temp is removed at the second visit when the final crown from the lab is ready for insertion.

4.) Cosmetic Dentists at Lane ends dental Practice use one the finest dental lab in the world. They create his crowns from the finest porcelain, noble, and precious metals in the world. Crowns are usually created 1) Completely of porcelain (usually front teeth), 2) From porcelain with a metal framework underneath (usually back teeth for rigidity), or 3) From gold for unique circumstances. From the impression the lab is able to create a beautiful, natural, new crown for the tooth.

5.) Placement: After the lab technician creates the customized crown, It is skillfully cemented on to the prepared tooth at the second visit.  Crowns are a great way to make broken down, decayed teeth look like new again. You can expect crowns to last for many years to keep your smile healthy, functional, and beautiful! Crowns

Dental Crowns have been known to stay in the mouth for over 20 years. With proper oral hygiene and care, there is no reason why crowns cannot last for the rest of your life. Of course, as with any dental procedure, crowns may last more or less than the average expectancy, and accidents such as fracture can happen as with natural teeth. However we are confident that crowns will greatly improve your oral health and appearance for years to come.

Additional Veneers - Preston Dentists




One of the most common procedures consistently used in a smile makeover is placement of dental veneers. These sophisticated tooth veneers technology allows the cosmetic dentists to create a remarkable appearance change in only two visits, providing patients with an almost instant smile makeovers. 

ceramic veneers are thin sheets of porcelain that are custom-made to match the contour and color of the patient's teeth. After teeth are prepared, veneers are permanently attached to their front surface with a special adhesive. Once placed in the mouth, porcelain veneers become part of patients' natural teeth structure which doesn’t require any special care.

Attributable to their durability and ease of application, dental veneers are used to correct a variety of cosmetic and/or functional problems. They are often placed over teeth to cover cracks and minor defects, as well as to improve the appearance of teeth that are disproportionately short or rotated or overlapping. 

Porcelain veneers are also often used to correct the appearance of crowded and/or misaligned teeth. In addition, veneers can help patients with stained teeth to achieve whiter, brighter smiles. Because porcelain veneers are translucent, they reflect light similarly to natural teeth, which makes patients' smiles look radiant-yet-natural. Dental veneers cost varies depending on the dentist's experience and reputation, materials used, the master ceramists’ fees, and several other factors. According to recent surveys, a single  porcelain veneers typically costs between £600 and £1000.

If a tooth is completely intact but is crooked or there are gaps to the adjacent teeth, it is possible to correct the appearance of the teeth safely and without using any orthodontic appliances within 7 days.  This new technology is known as additional veneers.  Thin slices of porcelain are simply fitted onto the natural teeth without having to grind them off. An additional veneer is, therefore, also a true holistic alternative to cosmetic orthodontics. Time after time the results of this procedure are impressive, even for us!

The longevity of your new smile is directly related to how well you look after it. An after-care programme will be recommended to promote the health of your teeth and gums. We guarantee the veneers for one year from time of placement unless fracture, breakages or loss occur as a result of Persistent Bruxism or Pathological wear and Para-function.
