What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a protective cap designed to restore and safeguard a weakened or damaged tooth. Whether a tooth is chipped, fractured, or decayed, a crown not only strengthens it but also ensures it blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
At Woodbridge Hill Dental Practice in Surrey, our porcelain crowns are custom-made to match the natural shape, size, and colour of your teeth, delivering a flawless, natural-looking result. Crowns can be crafted entirely from porcelain or porcelain bonded to precious metal, offering durability and strength.
The choice of material depends on individual needs. For example, pure porcelain crowns are ideal for patients who do not grind their teeth, as they provide a highly aesthetic and natural appearance.
Dental crowns are an effective way to protect weakened teeth while enhancing the overall health and beauty of your smile.

Types of Dental Crowns in Surrey
At Woodbridge Hill Dental Practice in Surrey, we offer a variety of dental crowns, each crafted from high-quality materials suited to different applications. The ideal choice depends on the location of the crown and your individual dental needs.
Porcelain Crowns: Renowned for their natural appearance, these crowns are often used for front teeth, where aesthetics are a priority.
Porcelain Bonded to Precious Metal: These crowns feature a precious metal base with layers of porcelain applied on top, combining strength and aesthetics. This makes them suitable for both front and back teeth.
Porcelain and Composite Crowns: Crafted from a composite material, these crowns offer a natural look but may not be as durable as porcelain bonded to metal. They are ideal for patients seeking a cost-effective solution.
Precious Metal Crowns: Made entirely from gold or palladium, these crowns are extremely durable and are typically used for less visible teeth at the back of the mouth.
Each type of crown provides a unique balance of durability, functionality, and aesthetics. Our experienced team will help you choose the best option to restore your smile and ensure long-lasting results.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are crafted to replace one or more missing teeth, utilizing one or more artificial teeth fixed into the mouth by anchoring them to healthy teeth or dental implants. They provide an alternative to removable dentures, as bridges are securely fixed in the mouth and can be cared for like natural teeth. The creation of a bridge involves taking impressions of the adjacent teeth to the gap, crafting crowns for these teeth, and connecting them with an artificial tooth to fill the gap.
Dental Bridge vs Implant
Alternatively, dental implants offer a long-lasting solution by surgically implanting a titanium post into the jawbone, onto which an artificial tooth is affixed for a permanent replacement. While dental bridges offer a more affordable option compared to implants and require less treatment time, implants may also be of interest as they provide a durable solution.
Dental Crown Costs
The cost of dental crown treatment depends on a number of factors, such as what material the crown or bridge will be made from. At Woodbridge Hill Dental Practice, the cost for private treatment for crowns is between £410 and £580, with partial crowns from £300. With our dental plans, you can save money on crowns too. If you have our Care Plan, you will pay only the lab bill for crowns, which costs from £29 for partial crowns and from £38 for full crowns.
How Dental Crowns Are Made
To fit a dental crown, the tooth will first be prepared. This is to make sure that it is the right shape to hold the crown. The outer surface of the tooth is removed so that the core remains and a crown can be fitted over the top. The crown will be as thick as the tooth that has been removed. An impression of the tooth is then sent to the dental lab so that a crown can be made that fits the tooth. The color of the crown will also be matched to your existing teeth, and a temporary crown will be fitted until the permanent crown is ready.
Why You Should Replace Missing Teeth
Replacing missing teeth is both practical and can improve the look of your smile. It can make it easier to eat and talk again, plus restore your smile. A dental bridge uses crowns to help replace your teeth in an easy and effective way.
