OVERVIEW
A damaged, weakened, or heavily decayed tooth does not always mean extraction. At The Windsor Dental Practice in Leicester, a dental crown is a custom-made tooth-shaped cap fitted over your natural tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance.
Colour-matched to blend with your surrounding teeth, our crowns look and feel completely natural. We also offer same-day crowns for patients who need a faster solution.
A dental crown may be recommended to restore strength, function, and appearance when a tooth has become damaged, weakened, or heavily restored.
When decay has destroyed too much tooth structure for a filling to remain effective, a crown provides full protection and long-term support.
A crown helps hold the tooth together, preventing further splitting, fractures, or additional damage during everyday biting and chewing.
When little natural tooth remains around a large filling, a crown offers the strength and stability needed to protect the tooth.
A crown protects the treated tooth after root canal therapy and restores full biting function while reducing the risk of fracture.
Crowns can improve the appearance of teeth that cannot be corrected effectively with whitening, bonding, or other cosmetic treatments.
A custom-made crown is attached to the top of a dental implant to replace a missing tooth and restore your smile naturally.
Crowns placed on neighbouring teeth help hold a dental bridge securely in place to replace one or more missing teeth.
If you are experiencing any of these issues, our Leicester dental team can assess your teeth and determine whether a dental crown is the right solution for restoring your smile.
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits completely over a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Once cemented in place, the crown functions just like a natural tooth.
Crowns are precision colour-matched to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth, making the restoration virtually undetectable.
They serve both restorative and cosmetic purposes, from protecting a tooth after root canal treatment to improving the appearance of a misshapen or discoloured tooth in Leicester.
At The Windsor Dental Practice, we offer a range of crown materials to suit different clinical needs and aesthetic goals.
A tooth-coloured crown that closely mimics natural enamel. Most commonly used for front teeth where aesthetics are a priority.
The strongest crown material available. Zirconia withstands heavy biting forces, making it ideal for back teeth requiring maximum durability.
A lithium disilicate crown offering the most lifelike appearance. Suitable for both front and back teeth where strength and aesthetics matter equally.
A metal-free option providing a natural look and good strength. Popular for patients with metal sensitivities.
Using advanced CEREC technology, your crown is designed, milled, and fitted in a single appointment — no temporary crown or second visit needed.
Each crown type is carefully selected by your dentist based on your clinical needs, bite strength, and aesthetic goals to ensure long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Every dental crown treatment in Leicester is carried out with precision and comfort, following a clear step-by-step process.
Your dentist assesses the tooth and takes X-rays to understand the level of damage or decay before treatment.
The tooth is gently reshaped and cleaned to create a strong base for the crown.
Precise impressions are taken to create a perfectly fitting custom crown matched to your natural teeth.
A temporary crown protects your tooth while the permanent crown is being made (not needed for CEREC same-day crowns).
The crown is checked for comfort, bite, and appearance before being permanently fixed.
With proper care, your crown can last 10–15 years or longer and continue to look completely natural.
Dental crowns provide both functional and aesthetic advantages, helping restore damaged teeth while improving long-term oral health.
A crown allows you to eat, bite, and speak comfortably without pain or restriction.
The crown shields the natural tooth underneath from further decay, cracking, or breakage.
Crowns are colour-matched and shaped to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
Covering a weakened tooth stops small cracks from spreading and reduces the risk of tooth loss.
With proper care, a dental crown can last 10 to 15 years or longer.
