Tooth Coloured Crowns

Strengthening and restoring teeth with natural looking results.

When a tooth has been weakened by decay, fracture, or large fillings, a crown can restore its strength, shape, and appearance. At The Repton Clinic, we provide high quality tooth coloured crowns designed to protect your tooth while blending beautifully with your natural smile.

What is Tooth Coloured Crowns

A tooth coloured crown is a custom made restoration that fits over the entire visible part of a tooth, restoring its strength and appearance.

Unlike traditional metal crowns, modern ceramic and porcelain crowns are designed to closely mimic the translucency and shade of natural enamel. Each crown is individually crafted to match your surrounding teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural result.

Crowns are commonly recommended when a tooth is too damaged for a filling alone to provide long term stability.

Key Benefits of Tooth Coloured Crowns

  • Restores strength to weakened or heavily filled teeth
  • Natural tooth coloured materials for a discreet finish
  • Custom made for precise fit and comfort
  • Protects teeth after root canal treatment
  • Long lasting and durable solution
  • Improves both function and appearance

 

Our aim is always to create a restoration that feels like your own tooth, allowing you to smile and eat with confidence.

Who is Tooth Coloured Crowns for?

A crown may be suitable if you:

  • Have a cracked or fractured tooth
  • Have a large filling that is no longer stable
  • Have undergone root canal treatment
  • Have a heavily worn or weakened tooth
  • Want to improve the shape or appearance of a damaged tooth

 

During your consultation, we will assess the condition of your tooth carefully and explain whether a crown is the most appropriate option, or if a more conservative treatment would be suitable.

The Process

We ensure your treatment is clear, comfortable, and carefully managed.

  1. Consultation and assessment: We examine your tooth and take any necessary X rays to assess its health and strength.
  2. Tooth preparation: The tooth is gently shaped to create space for the crown while preserving as much healthy structure as possible.
  3. Impressions: Precise impressions are taken so your crown can be custom crafted for an accurate fit.
  4. Temporary crown placement: A temporary crown is fitted to protect your tooth while your final restoration is being made.
  5. Final fitting: Once ready, your custom crown is securely bonded in place and adjusted to ensure comfort and proper bite alignment.
