What are Dental Crowns?
A crown (sometimes known as a ‘cap’) is an artificial covering that fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape of a natural tooth.
Crowns are an ideal option for teeth that have been broken or have been weakened by decay or a very large filling. They can be made from a variety of materials, the most common of which are porcelain or gold or a combination of both.
A dental crown could be used for several reasons, for instance;
Visit 1 Visit 1: At the first visit, your dental team will prepare the tooth. This will involve removing a layer of the outer surface, leaving a strong inner core. The amount of the tooth removed will be the same as the thickness of the crown. Once the tooth is shaped, the dental team will take an impression (mould) of the prepared tooth, one of the opposite jaw and possibly another to show the way you bite together.
The impressions will then be given to a dental technician, along with information about the shade to use and any other information they need. A temporary crown will be made so that you can use the tooth while you wait for the crown to be made. This crown may be more noticeable but is only temporary.
Visit 2 Visit 2: At the second visit, your dentist will fit the permanent crown. There will usually be about 2 to 4 weeks between appointments.

Brought my 9 year old daughter in with a sore tooth. The Dentist was great with her and totally put her at ease and sorted her tooth quickly without any pain. She was delighted. Really quick to get an appointment too!

Painless Wisdom Tooth Removal
The practice recognises the recessionary times we currently live in and the growth in dental awareness and high standards of our patients. For those who cannot afford the premium crowns, the practice can provide a less expensive crown to a good standard.
These crowns are similar to those provided by the NHS in the UK & Northern Ireland. Whilst the cosmetics and quality of a budget crown will not match a premium crown, delivering this crown will allow our dental team to control the long-term management of the mouth especially the preparation of the tooth. Patients may later opt to replace this crown with a premium type. The guarantee for a budget crown is 1 year (5 years for a premium crown).
If you are unsure what treatment you may need, please fill out the appointment form with as much information as possible and we will contact you as soon as we can.
We have Dental Clinics in Cootehill in Cavan and also in Monaghan centre.
