Dental Crowns at Park Royal Dental Clinic
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that fits over a damaged, weakened, or heavily restored tooth, encasing it completely from the gumline upward. At Park Royal Dental Clinic, we use all-ceramic crowns as standard — made from zirconia or porcelain-fused-to-zirconia — which deliver outstanding aesthetics, excellent durability, and none of the dark gum line associated with older metal-based crowns.
Crowns are needed in a range of situations: after a root canal treatment (which leaves a tooth brittle and fracture-prone), when a tooth is cracked or badly broken, when decay is so extensive that a filling would not provide sufficient structural support, when an old large filling is failing repeatedly, or as part of a bridge or implant restoration. With modern ceramic materials and precise laboratory work, a well-made crown is genuinely indistinguishable from a natural tooth.

Who is dental crowns suitable for?
Crowns are recommended when a tooth cannot be adequately restored with a filling alone — typically when more than half the tooth structure has been lost to decay, fracture, or previous restorations. They are the standard recommendation after root canal treatment on premolar and molar teeth, where the tooth is at significant risk of fracture without full cuspal coverage.
They are also used cosmetically — to improve the shape, colour, or alignment of a tooth — and as the final restoration on a dental implant.
Park Royal Dental difference
At Park Royal Dental Clinic we take highly accurate impressions and work with a specialist ceramic laboratory. Every crown is individually shade-matched to the surrounding teeth, with careful attention to surface texture, translucency, and characterisation that make the final result lifelike.
We also fit a high-quality temporary crown while your permanent one is being made, so you never have an exposed tooth stub between appointments.

After crown preparation your tooth will be sensitive to temperature until the permanent crown is fitted. Use a sensitivity toothpaste and avoid extremes of hot and cold. Once the permanent crown is cemented, any residual sensitivity usually settles within a week or two. Care for your crown exactly as a natural tooth — brush, floss, and attend regular hygiene appointments.
Dental Crowns FAQs
Does having a crown hurt?
The preparation is carried out under local anaesthetic and should be completely comfortable. Your tooth may be sensitive for a few days after each appointment — managed with sensitivity toothpaste and over-the-counter pain relief.
How long does a crown last?
A well-made ceramic crown maintained with good oral hygiene typically lasts 10–15 years. Some last significantly longer.
Will my crown look natural?
Modern all-ceramic crowns are colour-matched to your surrounding teeth and crafted to mimic the translucency of natural enamel. When made well, they are not detectable in normal lighting or photographs.
My crown has come off — what should I do?
Call us to arrange an urgent appointment. In the meantime, if the crown is intact, you can temporarily recement it with dental cement from a pharmacy. Do not leave the underlying tooth exposed for long.
Do I need a crown after root canal treatment?
In most cases, yes — particularly for back teeth. Root canal treatment removes the pulp tissue, leaving the tooth more brittle. A crown provides the full cuspal coverage needed to protect it long-term.
