Dental Crowns in Stoke-on-Trent
Tooth Caps To Bring Your Smile’s Sparkle Back
Natural-Looking, Ceramic Tooth Caps
Dental crowns are a type of dental restoration that is used to cover a tooth and provide support and protection. A crown or tooth cap offers the perfect solution for someone who has broken a tooth, one that has been damaged or badly decayed. A dental crown is an artificial restoration that fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth. The tooth cap helps secure the tooth, making it strong and durable, and gives it the shape and appearance of a natural tooth. They can also be used to improve the appearance of a tooth, and some crowns are used to attach bridges or dentures. Book an appointment with our team at Grosvenor Dental Practice, to find out how our tooth caps can help give you the smile you’ve always dreamed of.

What Are Dental Crowns Used For?
Sometimes referred to as a ‘tooth cap’ or ‘dental cap’, a crown can be the ideal restoration method for when a traditional filling won’t be enough. Crowns can be made from porcelain, gold, or a combination of these materials. Due to the advances in modern dentistry, ceramic crowns are one of the most popular and reliable dental treatments around, alongside composite bonding. With an average lifetime between 10 and 15 years, crowns can also offer a natural looking solution to a wealth of dental problems.
Caring for your dental crowns is similar to how you would care for your natural teeth. This includes brushing and flossing regularly, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding hard and sticky foods. Regular dental examinations, check-ups and cleanings are also important to ensure they are still in good condition.
Ceramic crowns can have a dramatic impact on a client’s life. Not only will it boost their confidence, it will also encourage them to smile and make them look and feel more attractive. So, if you are looking for a ceramic crown in Stoke-on-Trent book a visit with us today.

Restore Tooth Strength
Dental crowns provide essential protection for weakened or damaged teeth, helping to prevent further breakage or decay. They reinforce the tooth, ensuring it remains functional and durable for many years.
Improves Appearance
Tooth caps can significantly enhance the look of discoloured, misshapen, or uneven teeth. Made from materials like ceramic or porcelain, crowns create a more uniform, attractive smile.
Post Root-Canal Support
After a root canal treatment, the tooth can become fragile and more prone to damage. A tooth cap helps to reinforce and protect the treated tooth, while preventing further complications.
Long Lasting Solution
With proper care, dental crowns can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, and sometimes even longer. Their durability makes them a cost-effective and reliable option for long-term tooth restoration.
When Is A Dental Crown The Best Option?
Dental crowns are an ideal solution for various dental issues, such as broken or fractured teeth, where they restore strength and prevent further damage. They are also effective for teeth with severe decay, where a filling may not suffice, and can help protect and strengthen teeth following a root canal treatment. Additionally, crowns are often used to improve the appearance of discoloured, misshapen, or uneven teeth, enhancing both their function and aesthetic appeal.
Whether you need to restore a damaged tooth or improve the appearance of your smile, dental crowns provide a versatile and reliable solution. They can protect vulnerable teeth, prevent further complications, and restore your confidence with a natural-looking result.
Say Goodbye to Physical Moulds – Hello to Instant 3D Impressions
As part of our ongoing desire to deliver the best experience for patients, we now employ the cutting-edge iTero Dental Scanner. The iTero Scanner we now use significantly streamlines the process of capturing dental impressions, replacing the traditional method of physical moulds with a fast, digital alternative.
This technology captures precise, high-resolution 3D images of the tooth structure in just a few minutes, eliminating the need for physical impressions. As a result, patients spend less time in the chair and experience greater comfort, while the accuracy of digital impressions enhances the fit of the final crown and reduces the likelihood of dental crown post-implant adjustments.
