What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cover (or “cap”) that fits over the entire visible surface of a tooth. It’s used to:
- Protect a weak or cracked tooth
- Cover a large filling when not enough tooth is left
- Support a tooth after root canal treatment
- Restore a broken or severely worn-down tooth
- Improve the shape, colour, or alignment of a tooth
- Replace a tooth with a dental implant crown
Crowns can be made from porcelain, zirconia, ceramic, or metal, depending on your needs and aesthetic preferences.
The Dental Crown Procedure
- Initial consultation and digital scan/X-ray
- Tooth is prepared and shaped
- A temporary crown is placed (if needed)
- Your custom crown is created in lab
- Final fitting and bonding of the crown

FAQs – Dental Crowns in Edinburgh
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth. You may need one to restore a broken tooth, protect it after a root canal, replace a large filling, or improve the shape and appearance of a tooth.
With proper care, a crown can last 10 to 15 years, or even longer. Avoiding hard foods, maintaining good oral hygiene, and attending regular dental check-ups will help extend its lifespan.
Yes. We use high-quality porcelain and ceramic materials that match the colour, shape, and feel of your natural teeth. Most patients can't tell the difference between a crown and their real tooth.
Not at all. The area is numbed with local anaesthetic during the procedure. You may feel slight pressure, but no pain. Our team is gentle and experienced at helping patients feel comfortable.
Typically, it takes two visits — one for preparation and one for placement. In some cases, we can offer same-day crowns using advanced scanning and milling technology.
Keep the crown safe and contact us immediately. Don’t try to reattach it with glue. We’ll assess the tooth and either re-bond or replace the crown as needed.
Yes. Once your crown is fitted, you can eat and speak normally. We advise avoiding very sticky or hard foods immediately after the procedure to allow proper settling.
