Crowns
Crowns are advised when it is necessary to protect, strengthen and restore teeth. They may also be used to cover discoloured or misshapen teeth to improve the overall appearance of your smile.
Available in a range of materials, our crowns permanently sit over the entire visible surface of your existing tooth and are made to look as real as your own natural tooth.
The procedure takes two appointments. At the first appointment, we minimally shape the tooth and place a temporary crown. About 14 days later at your second appointment, we remove the temporary crown, place your new crown and check the fit and your bite.
The crown can last for many years if good oral hygiene is maintained, depending on the condition of the original tooth. Additional care should be taken to keep the crown and surrounding area clean. Your Hadleigh Dental Surgery dentist or dental hygienist will recommend an appropriate home care regime.

Like most people going to the dentist is only done because we wish to look after our teeth. I have been attending this dentist for years and she has always been really really good, she makes you feel relaxed,knows what shes doing and makes the experiance as best she can.What more can you ask for when what could be a nervous situation.

The surgery was lovely and clean and nice bright lighting and nice decor. Receptionist didn't seem very happy again but it was near the end of the day so she was probably ready go home! As soon as we sat down to wait for the appointment we were called in which was amazingly fast. The dentist and nurse were both friendly, polite and made you feel at ease as always. They are very lovely but professional at the same time. Treated my daughter very well and being gentle with her and telling her everything was fine at the check up. I made another 6 month appointment when leaving which was quick so all was over and done with very quickly which was fantastic.

Dr Patel explained very clearly the treatment he was going to do and kept checking I was doing OK while he was completing my filling. I felt valued and knowing I had a bad experience at another dentist he made sure I felt comfortable throughout.
