Dental crowns provide your tooth with the strength it needs after damage or decay.
Crowns can:
Protect your tooth after it has become damaged.
Strengthen a fragile tooth.
Restore a tooth’s natural appearance.
Be used as the teeth that form part of a dental bridge.
Dental crowns are artificial caps that look and feel like real teeth. They fit over the top of a tooth that is extensively decayed or damaged. Without a crown, your tooth could deteriorate, sustaining an infection or a serious chip or crack that compromises its health altogether. We also use crowns to protect a crown after root canal treatment and when making hand-made bridges for missing teeth.
When we create your restoration, everything we do is completely personalised. Your crown will cover the decayed or damaged tooth in question and provide the support and aesthetic restoration it needs to function well and look and feel great.
We use high-quality materials that will stand the test of time and enable you to chew and bite completely normally. The crown is colour-matched to your existing tooth shade, and our talented dental technician will contour and shape it to look right at home as part of your smile.
As a dental practice that value having a patient-centric approach, we feel it’s important to offer our patients a two-year warranty on their restoration. This includes our bespoke crowns. We are proud to be one of the only dental practices in the Swansea area offering this warranty on its dental crowns.

Beautifully restored teeth
Dental crowns are custom-fitted coverings placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. They are used to protect weak teeth, restore broken teeth, cover dental implants, attach bridges, and enhance aesthetics for discolored or misshapen teeth.
With proper care, including good oral hygiene practices and regular dental check-ups, dental crowns can last between 5 to 15 years or more. The lifespan of a crown depends on the material used and the wear and tear it undergoes.
The process of getting a dental crown is usually carried out under local anesthesia, making it pain-free. Some sensitivity or discomfort may be experienced after the procedure once the anesthesia wears off, but this is typically minor and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Care for a dental crown is similar to caring for your natural teeth. It includes brushing twice daily, flossing daily, and avoiding hard foods that can damage the crown. Regular dental visits are essential for ensuring the crown and surrounding gums remain healthy.
Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, metal alloys (such as gold), or a combination of materials. Porcelain and ceramic crowns are popular for their natural colour match, making them ideal for front teeth, while metal alloys are typically stronger and better suited for back teeth.
