Common questions about dental crown in Hitchin

How long does a dental crown last?

A well-maintained dental crown typically lasts 10-15 years, though many last significantly longer. All-ceramic crowns offer the best aesthetics while metal-based crowns tend to be more durable.

Is getting a crown painful?

The crown procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and should not be painful. You may experience mild sensitivity for a few days after the procedure as the tooth adjusts.

How long does dental crown take?

Two appointments over 1 to 2 weeks for traditional crowns. Same-day CEREC crowns are available at some practices.

Is dental crown available on the NHS in Hitchin?

Dental Crown is available on both the NHS and privately in Hitchin. The NHS Band 3 charge of £332.10 covers crowns, bridges, dentures, and similar work. More advanced materials and shorter waiting times are available privately. 6 of 24 practices in Hitchin accept NHS patients.

What is the difference between dental crown and inlays and onlays?

Crowns cover the whole visible tooth and are used when most of the tooth is damaged. Inlays and onlays cover only part of the tooth and preserve more natural structure. Crowns cost £400 to £1,000, inlays £200 to £600. Crowns are the right choice after root canal or major damage.

About Dental Crown

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that completely covers a damaged, weakened, or severely decayed tooth. Made from materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, crowns restore the tooth's shape, size, strength, and appearance. They're often used after root canal treatment or to protect teeth with large fillings.

How it works: Comprehensive examination and X-rays. Tooth preparation and shaping. Digital or physical impressions taken. Temporary crown placement. Laboratory fabrication (1-2 weeks). Final crown fitting and cementing.

  • Restore full tooth strength and function
  • Protect severely damaged or weakened teeth
  • Natural appearance with modern materials

While crowns provide comprehensive protection for damaged teeth, other treatments might be suitable for less severe cases. Large white fillings can restore moderately damaged teeth, while inlays and onlays offer a conservative alternative for partial coverage. For missing teeth, dental implants or bridges might be more appropriate solutions.
