Crowns

Crowns are advised when it is necessary to protect, strengthen and restore teeth. They may also be used to cover discoloured or misshapen teeth to improve the overall appearance of your smile.

Available in a range of materials, our crowns permanently sit over the entire visible surface of your existing tooth and are made to look as real as your own natural tooth.

The procedure takes two appointments. At the first appointment, we minimally shape the tooth and place a temporary crown. About 14 days later at your second appointment, we remove the temporary crown, place your new crown and check the fit and your bite.

The crown can last for many years if good oral hygiene is maintained, depending on the condition of the original tooth. Additional care should be taken to keep the crown and surrounding area clean. Your Temple Square Dental dentist or dental hygienist will recommend an appropriate home care regime.

Well what an experience great knowledge lovely personable people from the reception staff to the coordinator to the dentist, lovely place very posh. Treatment plan explained, payment options amazing. I would recommend them to everyone I know. Bear in mind going to the dentist is expensive i found them reasonable for the amount of work my poor teeth need. Thank you guys.

Temple square has a very friendly team and makes you feel so welcome. My dentist always removers bits of formation about me which gives a personal touch and is always so helpful.

Being a patient for over 25 years with Temple Square, the staff know me, they are friendly and helpful, whilst remaining professional and polite. Despite moving to a different County, I would rather travel 3 hours there, and 3 hours back for an appointment with a great team and established rapport, than to source an available dentist nearer to where I live, and never find similar service.

Based on my experience with other dental practices here in the UK, I can confidently say that this is the best dental practice I have visited. The quality of care and service is excellent, the staff are always friendly and welcoming, and the practice is exceptionally clean and well maintained. This is why I felt it genuinely deserved such high ratings.

Dr Aaron treated my daughter 11 y.o with calm, professional respect. He understood her anxiety and took time to reassure her. The extraction went very smoothly and it was very quick. Recovery had no issues. Dr Aaron is amazing very caring dentist!

I enjoy my six monthly check ups at Temple Square Dental. The staff are all friendly and reassuring and the dental work I have needed over the last 23 years has been carried out professionally and painlessly. Because of the biennial care I receive, my teeth and gums remain healthy in spite of 80 years of wear and tear! Many thanks to Aaron and Natalie and Lucie.
