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.

I always feel welcome and listened to when I'm at Temple Square, especially when I see Aaron. I've also didn't have to wait too long past my appointment time!

My experience is truly amazing with the Temple Street Surgery. The full marks are my honest opinion as I have had support at every point of my tricky problem. It seems that they are a very cohesive and well-functioning Team that reflect onto the patients. I had been to many surgeries during my life but I find the Team here provides the most excellent service and expertise.

The appointment time was given as a cancellation as I was concerned to get the tooth repaired as soon as I could in case it got any further damage. I was pleased to be able to get the work done well before I went on holiday. I always receive high quality care from Prab and have been a patient of hers for many years.

The only comment I can make is that when I entered the hygenists room, she did not turn away from her screen. I had to repeatedly ask her to repeat herself as she has a strong accent, wears a mask and had her face away from me. As a matter of courtesy, she should have greater me face to face as the nurse did

Aaron has been outstanding during my time with Temple Square! Always makes you feel at ease, ive always had issues with my teeth but he always puts me at ease and is kind and pragmatic, and i never feel embarrassed. He also saved my tooth with a root canal, talked me through the chances of success etc and saved a tooth that otherwise would have been pulled, could not thank him enough!!

All totally satisfactory. Have been a satisfied customer for years.
