Dental Crowns in St Albans

A crown is a precisely fitted cap that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth, sitting just at the gum line. It restores a tooth that is too damaged to be repaired with a simple filling, while still preserving the natural root.

We use modern lithium-disilicate (e-max) and zirconia ceramics — biocompatible materials that mimic the translucency and shade of natural enamel. Metal-fused options are still available where extra strength is needed.

With good oral hygiene and regular hygienist visits at our St Albans clinic, modern ceramic crowns typically last 10–15 years or more. Avoiding habits like chewing ice or biting fingernails will help your crown last even longer.
