Crowns

Crowns are advised when it is necessary to protect, strengthen and restore teeth. They may also be used to cover discoloured or misshapen teeth to improve the overall appearance of your smile.

Available in a range of materials, our crowns permanently sit over the entire visible surface of your existing tooth and are made to look as real as your own natural tooth.

The procedure takes two appointments. At the first appointment, we minimally shape the tooth and place a temporary crown. About 14 days later at your second appointment, we remove the temporary crown, place your new crown and check the fit and your bite.

The crown can last for many years if good oral hygiene is maintained, depending on the condition of the original tooth. Additional care should be taken to keep the crown and surrounding area clean. Your Guildford Dental Centre dentist or dental hygienist will recommend an appropriate home care regime.

My dental plan was explained to me in great detail of all the pros and cons and time over coming months for the implant work.

I visited Guildford Dental Centre because of painful wisdom tooth issues and Dr Jonathan Tan was amazing. He was so friendly, calm and reassuring throughout the appointment and explained everything clearly which really helped. The whole team were lovely and the clinic was very welcoming. I would definitely recommend coming here.

Excellent service, welcome and making you feel relaxed by Jackie in reception.Excellent efficient and sensitive hygienist service by Rachel.Dentist Derek always efficient, offers sensible solutions and takes care of the patient.Absolutely nothing to complain about here.Your survey should have the possibility to tick a not applicable response rather than force me to only answer yes or no where not applicable was the right answer.
