Restore your Teeth with Single-Visit CEREC® Crowns
Permanent and high-strength restorations.
No need for temporary crowns.
If you have a broken, worn or heavily filled tooth, our CEREC Dental Crowns can restore its strength and appearance in just one visit, so you can get back to eating and smiling with confidence sooner. We can design, manufacture and fit custom porcelain crowns on‑site, which means no messy impressions, no temporary crowns and no second appointment weeks later.
After a thorough one‑hour assessment, we take high‑resolution 3D images of your teeth and digitally design your new crown to match your bite and the colour of your surrounding teeth. Your crown is then precisely milled from a single block of ceramic, tried in, adjusted and bonded into place the same day for a strong, metal‑free result that looks and feels like a natural tooth.
For busy patients, or anyone travelling in for treatment, CEREC single‑visit crowns offer a convenient, modern way to achieve long‑lasting results with fewer disruptions to work, family life and social plans. If you are missing an entire tooth, these durable porcelain crowns can also serve as sturdy anchor points to support a custom dental bridge.
Located just off Mutley Plain with nearby free parking, our Plymouth clinic makes it easy to fit crown treatment around work and family life. If you are ready to save a damaged tooth and avoid extraction, contact our friendly team today to book your no‑obligation dental crown consultation.

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.
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.
Does a crown require a root canal?
A crown does not automatically require a root canal. Many crowns are placed on teeth that still have a healthy nerve.
A root canal is only needed if the tooth’s pulp is infected, inflamed or badly compromised by deep decay, trauma or repeated dental work. If the tooth is structurally weak but the nerve is healthy, we may be able to place a crown without root canal treatment, using the natural tooth as the foundation.
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, along with regular visits to our Plymouth dental hygienist for professional cleanings, a well-cared-for crown can easily last 10 to 20 years.
Is getting a dental crown painful?
Most people find getting a dental crown is not painful, just a bit uncomfortable at times. Your tooth and gums will be numbed with local anaesthetic before any drilling or shaping, so you should feel pressure, vibration and water spray, but not sharp pain during the procedure.
Afterwards, it is normal for the tooth and gum to feel tender or sensitive to biting and temperature for a few days, while everything settles.
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.
