What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown (often called a cap) is a custom-fitted restoration that covers the entire visible portion of a damaged tooth. It reinforces the remaining tooth structure, prevents further fractures, and restores a natural, healthy appearance. Crowns are also used to top dental implants and protect teeth that have undergone root canal treatment.
When a tooth has a massive cavity, a deep crack, or has become brittle following root canal therapy, a standard filling is no longer enough to support it. Placing a dental crown acts as a protective shield, locking the tooth structure together so it can withstand normal biting forces without breaking.
Key Patient Benefits
Custom crowns restore full chewing function and blend seamlessly with your smile, preventing teeth from splitting or breaking.
When is a Dental Crown Recommended?
Dental crowns are recommended for patients who have advanced decay, large cracked fillings, broken teeth, or who have recently received root canals.
- Severe tooth decay or fractures
- Large, failing silver fillings
- Post-root canal protection
- Aesthetic improvements for misshapen teeth
Types of Dental Crowns We Offer
We match the crown material to the tooth and your goals. Front teeth usually get all-porcelain or zirconia crowns for a natural look; back teeth may use stronger zirconia or porcelain-fused-to-metal for chewing strength. Ask us about same-day crown options that let you walk out with your permanent crown in a single visit, skipping the temporary.
Porcelain & Ceramic
Best for highly visible front teeth, offering unmatched aesthetic matching and natural light translucency.
Solid Zirconia
An incredibly strong, metal-free material that handles high-pressure chewing on molars without fracturing.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal
A metal inner core with porcelain outer layer, combining reliable strength with aesthetic restoration.
Crown, Filling, or Onlay — Which Do You Need?
The right restoration depends on how much of the tooth is damaged. A filling repairs a small cavity; an onlay covers a larger area; a crown caps the entire tooth when it’s cracked, heavily decayed, root-canal-treated, or too weak for a filling. At your exam we recommend the most conservative option that fully protects your tooth.
If you have a minor cavity, a direct dental filling is quick and preserves maximum tooth structure. For larger decay that compromises a portion of the chewing surface, an onlay (or partial crown) offers a durable middle ground. But if a tooth has structural fractures, has undergone a root canal, or needs replacement via a dental implant, a full crown is essential to provide structural stability.
Your Treatment Process
We prioritize your comfort and safety. Here is what happens during a dental crown procedure.
Tooth Preparation & Digital Impressions
The tooth is gently reshaped to accommodate the crown. We capture highly accurate digital impressions—no messy molds required.
Temporary Crown Fitting
A comfortable temporary crown is placed to protect the prepared tooth while our laboratory custom-crafts your permanent restoration.
Final Crown Placement
At your second visit, we remove the temporary, test the fit and color of your custom ceramic crown, and bond it securely in place.
How Much Does a Dental Crown Cost in Southampton?
The cost of a dental crown depends on the material (porcelain, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal) and the tooth being restored. We give you a clear estimate before treatment, explaining your options with transparency.
