Product Information

Make sure your dentist knows how you're feeling ahead of the appointment, or when you get there, as they may be able to make some changes to help you feel more at ease. Private dental insurance may cover some or all of the costs you incur at various stages of the dental crown procedure. If a tooth has become weak due to decay, a dental cap protects the tooth structure from further damage when the bite is in use. On the other hand, if you have had problems with dental crowns in the past or don't want to re-crown your tooth, consider having it removed and replaced with a dental implant. A partial crown is pre-made in a lab, just like a regular crown, and then fitted to the tooth in-office.

You should pay only one charge for a course of treatment, even if you visit the dentist a few times – so three fillings and a crown recommended on the same treatment plan would all be covered by band 3. The root canal is filled and the tooth is sealed with a filling or crown to stop it becoming infected again. As with any dental treatment, tooth cap prices vary greatly from one place to another and from one dental clinic to the next. It's worth shopping around and comparing prices between dentists near you, especially if you need to get more than one of your teeth crowned.

It is vital for the dentist to get the most accurate replica as if there are any differences, the cap could fall off or break, cause pain or even cause a variety of other dental issues. At the end of this appointment, you will be given a temporary tooth cap that will protect the natural tooth until your permanent tooth cap is made. Once your tooth cap is made, you will then revisit the dental professional and have the cap cemented onto the tooth. Why is a tooth cap needed? Note that you shouldn’t be asked to pay a deposit before booking an NHS appointment, a poor practice we have uncovered in previous investigations. In the longer term, teeth with crowns should be cared for in just the same way as regular teeth by brushing twice a day and flossing daily. If you're worried about dental floss catching on the edge of your crown, consider investing in a water flosser instead.

Bridges tend to look better and feel more comfortable than dentures, plus some people may want a permanent replacement rather than a removable prosthesis. NHS dentures are usually made of solid acrylic, which can feel bulky and less comfortable in the mouth than some private options. Dentures made privately may be made from a more expensive flexible acrylic or chrome, which can feel much more natural. You might experience some soreness or pain in the crowned tooth or the surrounding gum following the procedure. This is quite normal, and your dentist can advise you on how to manage any tooth crown pain you experience. If the tooth is just chipped, make a non-emergency dental appointment to have it smoothed down and filled or have a crown. You usually need to wear the mouthguard and bleaching gel for a specified period of time over a few weeks.This is a guide to the main treatments carried out by dentists. Some are readily available on the NHS, while some may only be available on the NHS in certain circumstances.
