Providing high-quality Cosmetic dental treatments to clients throughout Devon and Cornwall for over 20 years.

Broken down teeth can be irritating and painful, but thankfully this discomfort can be solved easily with a simple dental crown.

Although they serve a purpose, traditionally crowns were disliked by patients due to the dull and lifeless look they can have. Today we are able to offer all-ceramic metal-free crowns which are completely natural looking and therefore provide a perfect solution to teeth which are broken down, have worn-out fillings or an extensive amount of decay. Our team at Pure are renowned for their high quality cosmetic dentistry, and with the aid of the latest technology they will provide you with a beautifully natural smile.

What is a dental crown?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth covering the tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, and/or to improve its appearance. The crowns, when cemented into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line.

Can I Eat And Drink Normally After A Crown Has Been Fitted?

Yes. There are no special dietary precautions necessary when permanent crowns are fitted. Because they are cemented over existing teeth, normal care must be taken to avoid food and drink which will cause tooth decay.

How long will the crown last?

Properly cared for crowns should last for many years. Your dentist will be able to tell you how long the crown may be expected to last.

Why do I need a Ceramic Crown?

There are several different problems that a crown can correct.

Some of the most common reasons are:

Strengthen a weak or fractured tooth
Replace a tooth after a root canal
Attaching an implant
Cosmetic purposes
Replace a filling that is too large for the remaining tooth

Some of these problems need immediate dental work, but others use a crown as a prevention of further problems down the road. We never advise getting a crown unless we feel like it is absolutely necessary.
