Our dentists use a few different materials to make dental crow
ns in Scarborough.
They may recommend a gold crown for a molar that takes the impact of your chewing force because it's the most durable material for that job.
A ceramic porcelain crown is best for teeth you can see because we can customize it to match your teeth and blend beautifully with your smile.
Porcelain fused to metal may provide more durability but might not be the right aesthetic choice.
The Dental Crown Process
Completing a dental crown at Dentistry at Alton Towers is straightforward and should take two appointments. After determining that you need a crown, here's how the process works.
- The first appointment — Our dentists get your tooth ready for its new crown by taking impressions and making a temporary crown for you to wear.
- A dental lab prepares the crown — It takes two to three weeks for our dental lab to make your new restoration.
- Permanent placement — Once your crown is ready, you'll return to Dentistry at Alton Towers to have it permanently placed.
