Save your damaged tooth with a dental crown in Pontesbury
Dental crowns
A dental crown covers and protects a weakened tooth, restoring its full strength and helping it last for years to come.
Dental crowns in the heart of Pontesbury
When a tooth is too damaged for a standard filling but can still be saved, a dental crown offers a reliable solution. Our dentists use high-quality, tooth-coloured materials carefully matched to your natural smile, and modern digital scanning technology to capture precise impressions without the need for traditional moulds, making the experience more comfortable from start to finish.
What is a dental crown?
A crown is a custom-made tooth cap that fits over the entire visible part of a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its original shape, size, and strength so it can function just like before. Unlike a filling, which repairs a small area of decay, a crown covers the whole tooth and is designed to last fifteen years or more with proper care and regular dental visits.
How much does a dental crown cost?
The cost of your crown depends on the material we use and the complexity of your case. You may need a crown after root canal treatment to protect the tooth and prevent further fracture.
You'll find full details of our treatment fees on our pricing page, and we'll provide an individualised quote during your consultation.
Dental crown placement at Pontesbury Dental Practice
Your consultation
We’ll examine your tooth, take digital scans, and talk you through your options. You’ll be given a written treatment plan with clear costs.
Preparing and designing your crown
We’ll carefully prepare and shape your tooth to support the crown, then use our digital scanner to design your custom crown before sending it to the lab. A temporary crown will protect your tooth in the meantime.
Fitting your crown
Once your permanent crown returns from the lab, we’ll check the fit, adjust the bite if needed, and cement it securely in place, then give you aftercare advice to help it last. You’ll be sent home with aftercare advice to help your crown last for years to come.

Do I need a dental crown?
You might need a crown if you have a tooth that’s badly decayed, cracked, weakened by a large filling, or has undergone root canal treatment.
Your dentist can often spot issues that lead to a dental crown during a routine check-up before you notice any symptoms yourself. If you're experiencing pain, sensitivity, or difficulty chewing on one side, it's worth getting it looked at, since regular visits help us catch problems early and protect your teeth before they need more complex treatment.
