A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a damaged tooth. Dental Crowns are made from a ceramic material which help to create a natural look to match the rest of your teeth.
The material used for dental crowns are strong and can be aesthetically matched as well as function effectively for many years.
At Cherry Dental, we offer bespoke quality cosmetic crowns that are durable, affordable and the best of all: available on the same day! Attending multiple appointments and waiting for laboratories to produce the crown is a thing from the past. Today, by using the most modern technology, the computer designed and 3D printed CEREC system, our dentists are able to restore your tooth while you wait – no more hassle!
We use 3D computer scanning to design your ideal crown, customised from the moment we start treating your tooth. The 3D printing and hand staining and glazing to finish ensure a personalised result to match your natural tooth shade and your bite perfectly.
This is all done while you wait, also reducing the number of numbing injections you will need to have. To book your appointment for a same-day crown, please contact our reception and we will get you one step closer to your dream smile!
01
The dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay.
02
Instead of using traditional putty impressions, the dentist can take digital impressions of the tooth using a specialised scanner which creates a 3D image of the tooth used to design the crown.

Once the crown has been designed by the technician, it will be fitted by your practicioner.
The dentist will provide instructions on care for the crown both short-term and long-term.
Maintaining any restorations in the mouth involve good oral hygiene and diet. Brushing twice a day and flossing daily can help to prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
Dental crowns are typically recommended in the following situations:
The process for getting a dental crown typically involves two appointments. During the first appointment, the dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to accommodate the crown. An impression of the tooth will be taken to create the crown, and a temporary crown will be placed over the tooth to protect it while the permanent crown is being made. At the second appointment, the temporary crown will be removed, and the permanent crown will be bonded to the tooth using dental cement.
The lifespan of a dental crown varies depending on several factors, including the material used, the location of the crown, and the wearer's oral hygiene habits. With proper care, a dental crown can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years, and in some cases, even longer.
The procedure for getting a dental crown is typically not painful, as the tooth is numbed with local anesthesia before any work is done. However, some patients may experience sensitivity or discomfort after the procedure, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
To ensure the longevity of your dental crown, it is important to practice good oral hygiene habits, including brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly for cleanings and checkups. You should also avoid chewing on hard objects such as ice or hard candy, and avoid using your teeth as tools to open packages or bottles.
