Crowns – Leckhampton Dental Clinic

Restore Your Smile with Confidence

We offer high-quality dental crowns in Cheltenham designed to restore the strength, appearance, and function of damaged or weakened teeth. Our experienced team combines advanced dental technology, personalized care, and a local understanding of what Cheltenham patients need. Whether you require a dental crown after root canal treatment, to repair a cracked tooth, or to improve the look of a smile, our practice provides bespoke solutions tailored to your oral health goals.

What Are Crowns

A dental crown, sometimes called a tooth cap or tooth crown, is a custom-made restoration that completely encases the visible portion of a damaged tooth above the gum line. The crown is shaped to match your surrounding teeth and is cemented securely in place to restore both function and aesthetics.

Made from durable materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal-ceramic, dental crowns from our Cheltenham dentist blend seamlessly with your natural smile while protecting the underlying tooth structure.

Benefits of A Dental Crown

A dental crown provides several important benefits, making it a popular restorative and cosmetic option in Cheltenham. By placing a crown over a weakened or heavily restored tooth, we can prevent further damage and avoid the need for extraction.

Crowns also help restore chewing ability, even out bite alignment, and provide long-lasting protection—typically lasting 10 to 15 years with proper care. In addition to functionality, dental crowns can dramatically improve appearance, enhance self-confidence, and provide a seamless, natural-looking finish tailored to complement your existing smile.

The Dental Crown Process

Step 1 – Assessment & Preparation

We start with a thorough examination using digital scans or impressions, followed by careful tooth preparation. The tooth is reshaped to create room for the crown and ensure a secure fit.

Step 2 – Temporary Crown & Lab Fabrication

A temporary crown is placed to protect the prepared tooth. Your custom permanent crown is then crafted in a dental laboratory using high-quality porcelain or ceramic.

Step 3 – Final Fitting & Adjustment

Once your permanent crown is ready, we remove the temporary version, place the final crown, check your bite and comfort, and make any final adjustments before permanently bonding it.
