What are crowns?
A full-coverage restoration, made just for you
Crowns — sometimes called caps — replace missing tooth structure and recreate the appearance of a healthy natural tooth. Most crowns are made from porcelain or ceramic for a lifelike finish, though your dentist in Shepperton may recommend a gold crown for a back tooth where extra strength and durability really matter.
You may benefit from a crown to:
- Rebuild or strengthen a weak or heavily restored tooth
- Change the appearance of a discoloured or misshapen tooth
- Protect a tooth after root canal treatment
- Restore a tooth following trauma or fracture
Every case is unique, so your dentist will always discuss the full range of treatment options with you before recommending a crown.

Your dental crown journey, step by step
Typically three appointments — a preparation visit of around 60 minutes and a fitting visit of 30–45 minutes, depending on the complexity of your case.
Consultation
Your dentist examines the tooth, discusses options and explains the procedure clearly.
Preparation
The tooth is gently shaped, impressions taken, shade matched and a temporary crown placed.
Lab craftsmanship
Your custom crown is made at the dental lab to fit precisely and match your natural teeth.
Fit & finish
The final crown is checked for fit, bite and appearance — then cemented into place.
