Strengthen, Restore, & Protect Your Smile With Dental Crowns

When a tooth becomes damaged, worn, or weakened, general dentistry treatments like dental crowns can restore both comfort and confidence. Crown treatment is when a tooth-shaped ‘cap’ is placed over an existing tooth. They allow larger changes in shape and can make up for bigger defects than veneers. Furthermore, they can also be used on top of an implant acting as the visible tooth.

The cap then restores the tooth’s original size, strength and shape to improve its appearance. When firmly in place, a dental crown will cover the visible portion of the tooth, to the gum line, for a seamless, attractive and comfortable feature on your teeth.

At our Banbury dental practice, our experienced team ensures every crown is expertly crafted and precisely fitted to meet your individual needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do dental crowns last?

With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, dental crowns typically last between 10 to 15 years. Porcelain and ceramic crowns are strong and stain-resistant, making them a reliable long-term solution.

How can our Banbury dental crown treatment help you?

We offer high-quality, natural-looking crowns designed to match your existing teeth. These crowns are designed to match the shape and colour of your natural teeth, so they blend seamlessly into your smile.

When you come to 41 South Bar for dental crown treatment, here’s what to expect:

  • We will liaise closely with you, ensuring you are happy with the placement, material and look of the crown before fitting
  • Your tooth will be prepared for the fixing of the new crown
  • An impression of your tooth will be taken, which is then sent off to be custom made
  • The bespoke crown will then be fitted by our dental team

The crown will support the tooth and help prevent further decay or wear, offering a long-lasting, permanent solution to your damaged teeth.

How do I care for my dental crown?

Brush and floss regularly, just like with natural teeth. Avoid chewing very hard foods or using your teeth to open packaging, as this can damage the crown.

How can I tell if a crown has been placed incorrectly?

If you experience ongoing pain, swelling, or discomfort around the crowned tooth, it could indicate the crown isn’t sitting quite right or there’s an underlying issue. At 41 South Bar, we always recommend getting in touch with our team if you notice anything unusual – we’re here to help ensure your crown feels comfortable and functions as it should.

What happens if a crown fails?

A failing crown can cause pain, inflammation, or decay. You might notice discomfort or gaps that are hard to clean. Please see your Banbury dentist immediately if you suspect an issue.

Went to 41 South Bar today on an emergency appointment with chronic toothache. Fully expected to have a tooth out and a hefty bill. But no, my tooth was saved and my pension was saved. I’ll be back.

Sue Price

Always professional, service with a big smile. Exceptional level of care delivered from every member of staff, very accommodating and generous with time afforded to go through every stage of care. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Shirley

Been seeing Tom and his team for over twenty years. I have complete confidence that my teeth and gums are getting the best possible service. Highly recommended.

David Doorly

The treatment and care I received from every professional that I came into contact with at 41 South Bar was exceptional. Everyone was polite, friendly ad an excellent practitioner. Tom is an absolutely first class dentist with a pleasant “bed-side” manner. I am delighted with my implants. They couldn’t be better. Many thanks to all at 41 South Bar

Karen Pitts

My close family now all go to South Bar. I have been coming for years and the treatment has been excellent. My mum changed to Tom earlier this year and has been so delighted. She said she wished she had changed years ago. Even my dental phonic daughter in law travels from Reading to the practice.

Helen Hutchings

I have had implants and a crown done by Tom. He and his team are fantastic, I cannot recommend them highly enough. Tom is highly skilled and the facilities at South Bar are second to none. The quality of Tom’s work and his knowledge and expertise are superb Staff are so friendly and Tom is so thoughtful about his work. A model dental practice.

Philip Scull

Tom was knowledgeable and helpful and friendly throughout. I have been suffering with pain in my teeth and Tom was able to provide a possible diagnosis and reassure me on many concerns that I have been having. The receptionists created a friendly atmosphere in the practice and they were helpful during phone calls.

Patient, June 2020

May I say a very big thank you to all concerned in making my visit so safe this week. It was exemplary and was very much appreciated.

Very best wishes to all at 41 Southbar.
