Restore Your Damaged Tooth With A Dental Crown
Dental crowns are protective caps placed over damaged or weakened teeth. They are made of strong materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal and are custom-made to fit the tooth perfectly.
Dental crowns restore the tooth's strength, shape, and appearance and are custom-made to fit securely over the tooth, improving its function and aesthetics while providing long-lasting protection against further damage.
TYPES OF CROWNS
Why Dental Crowns Are So Versatile
- Cost-Effectiveness - Dental crowns are a more affordable option than replacing a tooth with an implant.
- Protective - Dental crowns strengthen weak teeth, protecting them from further damage like decay and cracks.
- Restorative - Dental crowns can quickly repair broken teeth, making them look and function like new.
- Aesthetic Benefits: Dental crowns can improve the appearance of misaligned, discoloured, or otherwise damaged teeth. They can provide a brighter, more uniform smile when traditional whitening methods fail.
- Integration With Dental Implants - Dental crowns serve as integral components in single-tooth replacement procedures utilising dental implants. These crowns fix securely on top of the implant, and look, feel and function like a normal tooth.
- Support for Dental Bridges - Dental crowns play a pivotal role in supporting dental bridges, providing a stable anchorage for the prosthesis to replace multiple missing teeth, thereby restoring both function and aesthetics to the smile.

Dental Crown Fitting At VICI Dental
After your consultation with your dentist at VICI Dental they will prepare the tooth for the crown by removing any decay or damage, and reshape it to accommodate the crown.
Scans are then taken to ensure an accurate fit. These Scans are then sent to our state-of-the-art lab who will fabricate the crown ensuring it as close a match in colour to your natural teeth as possible. While the crown is being prepared by the dental lab a temporary crown will be fitted to protect your tooth until your final dental crown is ready.
During a subsequent appointment, your dental crown will be fitted and adjusted for comfort and bite alignment. Once this process is completed your dental crown will be permanently bonded into place using dental cement. Your dental crown not only restores your tooth's function and aesthetic but also provides long-term durability and protection.

At VICI Dental, our award-winning team ensures patients understand the role of dental crowns in protecting their teeth. While a crown provides excellent protection, it’s important to understand its limitations. Dr. Paul Midha and our expert team at both our Leeds City Centre and Pudsey practices take time to explain how crowns work as part of your overall dental health.
A crown acts as a protective shell over your existing tooth, shielding it from external irritants and reducing fracture risk. However, the area where the crown meets your natural tooth (the margin) still requires careful attention and maintenance. Our team provides comprehensive guidance on maintaining both your crown and underlying tooth health.
Key considerations include:
- Regular professional cleaning around crown margins
- Specific brushing techniques for crowned teeth
- Monitoring of crown-tooth junction
- Early intervention if issues arise
- Ongoing preventative care
Drawing from our extensive experience at VICI Dental, crowns can last 10-15 years or more with proper care. Our award-winning approach to crown treatment, combined with regular maintenance, helps ensure maximum longevity.
Factors influencing crown lifespan:
- Quality of initial placement
- Material selection
- Oral hygiene practices
- Regular professional maintenance
- Bite forces and habits
Our comprehensive care programme includes:
- Regular monitoring appointments
- Professional cleaning protocols
- Early intervention strategies
- Protective measures if needed
- Long-term maintenance planning
