━ Dental crowns in Birmingham
Strength restored,
shape returned.
A crown covers and protects a tooth that is broken, worn or heavily filled. Our Birmingham team designs each crown to fit your bite and match the teeth around it.

━ Materials
Porcelain and zirconia options
━ Fit
Bite and shade checked
━ Location
Erdington, Birmingham
━ When a crown helps
Cover the tooth,
keep it working.
Teeth that have lost a lot of structure through fracture, decay or root canal treatment can be vulnerable. A crown fits over the whole tooth to hold it together and restore normal shape and function.
A large fracture or cusp lost
A heavily filled or weakened tooth
After root canal treatment on a back tooth
A discoloured or misshapen tooth
━ Crown options
Choices explained before you decide.
Your dentist will recommend a material based on the tooth, your bite and how visible it is.
All-ceramic crowns
Highly aesthetic and often chosen for front teeth where appearance matters most.
Zirconia crowns
Strong and hard-wearing, frequently used for back teeth under heavy load.
Porcelain-bonded crowns
A metal substructure with porcelain covering, offering strength and appearance.
Gold crowns
Post crowns
Used on root treated teeth where extra support inside the root is required.
Onlays as an alternative
Sometimes a partial-coverage restoration preserves more of your natural tooth.
