Dental Crowns Before and After
Damaged and discoloured teeth are prepared and shaped to accommodate new crowns that match the natural tooth colour.
The CEREC Difference. Your Permanent Crown in Just One Appointment
CEREC (ceramic reconstruction) is a revolutionary system that enables us to design, fabricate, and fit your new porcelain Crowns or Veneers in a single visit.
This new technology has revolutionised ceramic restorations for patients, eliminating the wait for the finished product.
Veneers and Crowns created with CEREC are metal-free and coloured to restore your tooth’s natural look, strength, and function.
CEREC is the world’s only system for fabricating ceramic restorations in just one visit.
The state-of-the-art equipment enables us to take high-resolution 3D digital images of your teeth and design your new Veneer or Crown to fit your existing teeth perfectly.
Your Veneer or Crown is then created from porcelain ceramic and fitted during the same appointment.
Any of your teeth can be restored with CEREC, with very little preparation required, and the restorations are solid and durable because they are milled from a single ceramic block.
Your new Crowns and Veneers will perfectly match your other teeth and blend in as if they’ve always been there.
The process is comfortable and quick, making it useful for nervous patients.
Dental Crowns FAQ
Will my new porcelain crown look like a natural tooth?
Absolutely. The ceramic materials we use are completely metal-free, so you will never get that dark, unnatural line at your gumline that older metal-based crowns often cause.
Dr Bronkhorst will carefully colour-match the ceramic block to the exact shade of your surrounding teeth, ensuring your new crown blends in seamlessly and restores your smile’s natural beauty and symmetry.
Where is your clinic located, and is there parking nearby?
Our state-of-the-art dental practice is located at 7 Lockyer Road, just a stone’s throw from Mutley Plain in Plymouth (PL3 4RL). We are conveniently situated for patients travelling from across Britain’s Ocean City, including Plympton, Derriford, and Stoke Village.
There is convenient on-street parking directly outside our doors (permit-only between 3:00 pm and 4:00 pm), and the nearby Mutley Barracks and Napier Terrace car parks offer two hours of free parking just 100 metres away.
What are CEREC same-day crowns, and do you provide them?
Yes, we are incredibly proud to offer state-of-the-art CEREC single-visit dentistry at our Plymouth clinic. CEREC is an advanced technology that allows us to design, mill, and fit your bespoke ceramic crown in just one appointment.
Instead of waiting weeks with a fragile temporary crown, our high-precision milling machine crafts your permanent, incredibly durable porcelain restoration right here in the practice while you wait.
Do you use messy dental putty to take impressions for crowns?
Not at all. We have completely eliminated the need for uncomfortable, messy putty. Instead, we use a high-resolution 3D digital scanner to take incredibly precise optical impressions of your teeth and jaws.
This advanced digital approach is much faster, far more comfortable (especially if you have a strong gag reflex), and allows us to design a crown that fits your natural bite perfectly.
How long will my new dental crown last?
Dental crowns are a fantastic long-term investment in your oral health. Because our CEREC crowns are milled from a single, solid block of high-grade ceramic, they are incredibly strong.
With excellent daily brushing and flossing, and regular visits to our Plymouth dental hygienist for professional cleanings, a well-cared-for crown can easily last between 10 and 20 years.
I am a very nervous patient. Can you help me feel relaxed during the procedure?
We completely understand that visiting the dentist can be a source of anxiety for many people. Our Mutley Plain clinic is designed to be a calm, welcoming, and entirely judgment-free environment.
For patients who need extra support, our Principal Dentist, Dr Lenore Bronkhorst, has a special interest in treating nervous patients and offers dental sedation to ensure your crown preparation and fitting are completely relaxed and stress-free.
Why might I need a dental crown instead of a standard filling?
While composite bonding and fillings are excellent “quick fixes” for minor damage, a dental crown is required for a “structural fix“.
If a tooth is heavily decayed, fractured, or has undergone root canal treatment, there simply is not enough natural tooth structure left to safely support a filling.
A crown acts like a protective cap, encasing the entire visible portion of the tooth to restore its original strength, shape, and function.
I have a broken tooth. Can I book an emergency appointment for a crown?
Yes, if you have suffered dental trauma or broken a tooth, we offer same-day emergency dental appointments in Plymouth.
Because we have our advanced CEREC milling machine on-site, we can often prepare your tooth and create a permanent, custom-made ceramic crown in less than an hour, instantly relieving your pain and restoring your smile.
You do not need to be a registered patient to access our emergency services.
Do I need a referral from my local NHS dentist to see you?
No referral is necessary. We warmly welcome private patients from across Devon and Cornwall. Many of our patients travel from Saltash, Torpoint, Ivybridge, and beyond to access our advanced single-visit CEREC technology and cosmetic expertise.
You can book your consultation directly with our reception team.
