Dental Crowns

Dental Crowns are a protective cover that can be placed on top of a weakened or damaged tooth to improve strength and appearance or on top of a dental implant to provide a new tooth where one was previously missing.

Wish to know more about Dental Crowns?

A Dental Crown, sometimes referred to as a ‘cap’ can be made from porcelain, ceramic or metal alloys to sit on top of an existing damaged tooth or a titanium dental implant to fill a gap where a tooth has been lost.

Dental Crowns are individual teeth, lab-made to match the existing natural teeth in the arch, so that a gap can be filled or an unattractive tooth can be covered to make the whole arch look neater.

What are Dental Crowns?

Dental Crowns are a common dental procedure and carry with them many benefits. They may be recommended in cases where an existing tooth is currently weakened or after root canal surgery, which can cause damage to existing teeth.

The Benefits of Dental Crowns

If you’re exploring the option of a Dental Crown for your smile transformation, these are just some of the benefits of this treatment option:

  • Designed to match existing teeth and look natural
  • Suitable to sit on top of existing teeth or Dental Implants so ideal for damaged or missing teeth
  • Good option where individual teeth need replacing, rather than multiple or a full arch of teeth
  • Crowns are durable with a lifespan of 5-15 years
  • Securely fitted with either an implant or dental cement for comfortable eating

While the permanent tooth is being made, a temporary crown can be fitted, which allows you to get used to the look and feel of your new tooth and ensures a quicker fix for the damaged or missing tooth when the final one is ready.

At Wish Dental, our team is on hand to talk you through all treatment options and help you make the best decision for you personally.

Who are Dental Crowns best for?

Dental Crowns are best used for those wanting to replace individual teeth. Whether the existing tooth is damaged, weakened or discoloured, or missing entirely, Dental Crowns can be fitted to existing weak teeth or dental implants to transform these individual sections of the smile.

When fitting Dental Crowns to weakened teeth, a layer of the tooth will be removed to reveal a stronger core that is able to properly hold the crown. In the case of missing teeth, a small titanium rod will be implanted into the bone tissue to create a strong bond to which the crown can then be fitted - this is known as a Dental Implant.

Dental Crowns are used for both cosmetic dentistry, in cases of improvement to the aesthetic of a tooth and for protecting weakened teeth. Tooth removal can lead to a range of additional dental concerns and the use of a crown to protect a weakened or damaged tooth can often be preferable to full extraction.

After suffering with a very painful tooth I needed an extraction which was completed by Tom who put me at ease and explained everything all the way through, with advice for after care. Would definitely recommend Wish.

Anne Bostock

I required a filling, and a tooth extraction this morning. Sion is an outstanding dentist. Very informative throughout the appointment. Chatty as well, which puts me at ease. He went through some aftercare as well. No pain suffered. Thank you Sion.

Russell Bingham

I have always been very pleased with every aspect of customer care service and experience at Wish Dental. It is the only dental surgery I have ever been to of which I can honestly say I have never experienced any pain or discomfort. I would not hesitate to recommend Wish Dental and in fact I have done so to several of my friends.

Paul Curran

I have only wonderful things to say about Wish. My teeth have never been less troublesome, I am no longer petrified, they are always friendly and accommodating and the practice itself is spotless, modern and calming. I have always hated the dentist and Wish has completely changed my mind.

Anna Davies

Great service. Always quick to answer the phones, appointment times to fit you. Appointments run on time. Staff are always professional, friendly and helpful. Staff are knowledgeable and answer any questions. Would certainly recommend.

Julie Ford

Amazing and friendly staff who really do go over and above. Whether a routine checkup or a procedure they always put the patient first, informing, educating and making you feel at ease. Reasonably priced too for a private dentist. I would highly recommend Wish to anyone and everyone!

David Evans

We’re lucky to have Wish as our dental specialist. The 6 monthly check ups with Sion ensure any possible issues are highlighted and dealt with before they’re a bigger problem. Sion is thorough, friendly and re-assuring. I enjoy the hygenist visits with Hayley, who details my teeth with great care and precision. Thanks, Mark

Mark White

Being a nervous patient I can’t recommend ‘Wish’ enough. All the staff are fantastic, so friendly and caring. Lucinda and Emilie are incredible. I have never felt so at ease with a dentist and their nurse. They genuinely care and take their time. I honestly can’t thank them enough for looking after me each time. Thank you, you have no idea the difference you make, with your big smiles and caring manner.

Alison Hall

Tom has been my dentist for some years. I have had a number of different implants prior to being a patient at Wish Dental. Due to the differing implants it has made creating implant bridges a challenge. On every occasion, Tom has come up with innovative solutions working with the dental lab to create implant bridges that look and function superbly. Thank you Tom and the team.

Karen Williams

My family have been with Wish Dental since it opened in Poynton. The staff are friendly and efficient and the hygienist is very thorough. Our dentist, Sion, is excellent and we have confidence in his care of our teeth. On the rare occasion we have needed treatment we have no problem in getting an early appointment. Overall, I have no hesitation in recommending this practice.

Diana Lines

I could not recommend Tom and his team more highly. My daughter has had ongoing issues with a tooth needing a Root Canal. Everyone went above and beyond - than you soo much we couldn't have got through it without you.

Zoe & Alice

Excellent first appointment with Wish. The staff were very polite professional and friendly. Good quality service and reasonably priced. Lucy didn’t try to sell me more services than needed and provided me with more focussed relevant information than I’ve ever had previously.

Joanna Larkin

I’m always happy to visit Hayley and her assistant for a thorough clean with such expertise in a warm and friendly environment. Over the weekend I lost a filling and dropped Wish Dental an email for an appointment. I was very grateful to be contacted first thing Monday and by the same afternoon, Hayley had sorted my tooth swiftly and perfectly; most impressed, thank you.

Elizabeth White

My first visit today and what a wonderful, friendly and helpful team at Wish Dental. I received excellent treatment and help. I have come away with a treatment plan that was explained to me and that I am delighted with. I have every confidence that I am going to receive excellent treatment and highly recommend Wish Dental.

Lesley Dawes

After not visiting the dentist for almost 2 years, I was very nervous about having 2 fillings! But all the team were very caring and Tom made sure I was comfortable and reassured me all the way through my treatments, explaining each stage! I felt so happy when I left knowing that it's done and it really wasn't that bad. I won't be leaving it 2 years again, thanks to the Wish Team!

Olivia Livissa

I can’t thank this dentist practice enough for what they are doing for me. I was involved in a car accident that knocked my front tooth out and damaged my others. Tom is restoring my teeth and giving me my confidence back. I couldn’t recommend the practice and all the staff enough.

Lauren Ellis

Wish was able to accommodate me within 24 hours of my crown cracking. Sean resolved my issue with a temporary procedure and the team was able to organise follow-on appointments for a permanent crown replacement before my upcoming holidays. Well done the Wish Team.

Danny Lee

The Wish Dental team are fabulous. I have had implants and extensive dental treatment due to an accident I had as a child. I am thrilled with the results and thanks to Tom have a confident smile. The whole team are always welcoming and make the experience a comfortable one. I would not hesitate to recommend Wish dental especially if you are considering implants.

Allyson Pilkington

Perfect service from Wish Dental. Tom and his team were amazing. Could not be more pleased with the results of extensive dental work including implants and veneers. Wish Dental are without doubt the best dentist I have ever been to, their work is second to none. There was no pain or discomfort in the entire process. I would not hesitate to recommend Wish Dental to anyone.
