Dental crowns to protect and restore teeth in Plymouth
Dental crowns
Strengthen damaged teeth and restore comfort with carefully planned dental crowns.
Dental crowns at Plymouth City Centre Dental Practice
When a tooth becomes weakened by decay, fracture, or large fillings, a dental crown allows us to protect it and restore strength. Crowns cover and support the tooth, helping it function comfortably and reducing the risk of further damage.
At Plymouth City Centre Dental Practice, we plan dental crowns around your bite, tooth structure, and long-term oral health. Our aim is to restore the tooth in a way that feels natural, fits precisely, and lasts.
What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made covering that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth. Sometimes called a “tooth cap,” a crown restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance while protecting it from further wear or fracture.
We use crowns to repair teeth with large fillings, cracks, heavy wear, or following root canal treatment. Each crown is designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and bite.
How much does a dental crown cost?
The cost of a dental crown depends on the tooth involved, the material used, and the complexity of the restoration. We provide clear pricing guidelines on our pricing page, but will give you a personalised treatment plan with a full cost breakdown before beginning your treatment.
To help spread the cost of a dental crown, we offer finance through Tabeo, including 0% options over 10 or 12 months, as well as longer-term plans of up to 60 months where interest applies.

Do I need a dental crown?
You may need a dental crown if a tooth has become weakened, cracked, heavily filled, or painful when biting. Crowns protect teeth that would otherwise be at risk of further damage or fracture.
During your consultation, we assess whether a crown is the most appropriate option or whether alternatives, such as fillings or onlays, would provide sufficient protection. Our recommendations focus on preserving tooth structure and long-term stability.
