Restore Damaged or Discoloured Teeth with Dental Crowns in Cheadle, Manchester

Dental Crowns at Dental Implants Plus

Damaged, weakened, or discoloured teeth can impact your smile, chewing ability, and self-esteem. Dental crowns at Dental Implants Plus offer a versatile and long-lasting solution to restore your teeth’s functionality and aesthetics.

A Dental Crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its strength, shape, size, and appearance. Crowns can be made from various materials, each with its own advantages.

At Dental Implants Plus, we utilise advanced dental technology to create precise and long-lasting crowns. Our experienced dentists will carefully assess your needs and recommend the most suitable crown material and design. We utilise computer-aided design (CAD) for exceptional accuracy and a natural aesthetic.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

  • Restore Strength: Crowns reinforce damaged or cracked teeth, protecting them from further breakage and improving chewing ability.
  • Enhance Appearance: Crowns can dramatically improve the look of discoloured, chipped, or misshapen teeth, creating a more confident smile.
  • Support Dental Implants: Crowns are placed on top of dental implants to complete the restoration and create a natural-looking tooth.
  • Improve Bite Alignment: Crowns can be used to correct minor misalignment issues, enhancing overall bite function.

Types of Dental Crowns at Dental Implants Plus:

  • Full Porcelain Crowns: Ideal for front teeth due to their natural, metal-free appearance. They are highly durable and resistant to chipping or staining.
  • Porcelain-on-Metal Crowns: A popular choice for molars and back teeth due to their exceptional strength and ability to withstand strong biting forces. The metal base provides durability, while the porcelain layer ensures a natural look.
  • Gold Crowns: Traditionally used for back teeth, gold crowns offer unmatched durability and longevity. They are a good option for patients with teeth requiring maximum strength.

Taking Care of Your Crowns

Taking care of your dental crowns is simple and important for their longevity. Treat them as you would your natural teeth by brushing after meals and before bedtime, paying attention to the gum line where bacteria can build up. Daily flossing helps remove food particles and plaque from between your teeth and crowns. Rinse with fluoride mouthwash before bed for added protection against decay. Don’t forget to schedule regular check-ups with your dentist at least once a year to ensure your crowns stay in great shape and your smile remains healthy and bright.

FAQs

Not necessarily. Crowns are used after root canals, to protect a cracked tooth, or to restore one that’s been heavily filled. It’s often a preservation measure, not a last resort. That said, if you’re being offered a crown on a tooth that seems fine, ask why specifically.

Typically 10–15 years, sometimes longer. Lifespan depends on the material, where in the mouth it sits, and whether you grind your teeth. Back teeth take more force and wear faster. A crown isn’t a permanent fix — it’s a long-term one.

Porcelain and ceramic crowns are colour-matched and usually blend well. Metal or metal-fused crowns are more visible — fine for back teeth, less ideal at the front. Ask which material is being recommended and why, especially if it’s a visible tooth.

The preparation is done under local anaesthetic, so discomfort during the appointment is minimal. Some sensitivity afterwards — particularly to temperature — is normal and usually settles within a couple of weeks. If pain persists beyond that, go back.

Yes, it can — usually because the cement has failed or the tooth underneath has decayed. It’s not common with well-placed crowns, but it happens. If it does, keep the crown and contact the practice promptly. Don’t leave the exposed tooth unprotected.
