Permanent & Temporary Crown Fittings
Poor crown fittings are pretty common, but not at Beyond Dental, as we don’t offer just any crown fittings. We have perfected our process when it comes to permanent and temporary crown fittings, using 5D scanning, the least invasive processes and the most natural and durable materials to create a flawless smile every time. Everyone deserves a smile they feel confident with, so we offer interest-free monthly payment plans to make our advanced treatments accessible to all!
Let’s find out a bit more about how we use permanent and temporary crown fittings to bring back that confidence that you deserve!
When Are Permanent and Temporary Crown Fittings Used?
Having a tooth missing can have an impact on all aspects of life, from making eating more difficult to affecting confidence. Luckily, both permanent and temporary crown fittings can provide the perfect solution to these issues!
- Crown fittings may be needed to protect decaying or fractured teeth, restore teeth with large fillings or improve cosmetic issues such as spacing or irregularity of shape.
- Most importantly, they look completely natural and will blend in perfectly with the rest of your smile.
- During your appointment with your dentist, we will create a patient care plan just for you, to make sure we are presenting you with a range of options so we are all happy with the plan moving forwards.
- If we decide that crown fittings are the right choice for you, 5D scans will be taken and sent off to our lab where a permanent, one of a kind crown will be created!
- Temporary crown fittings will provide protection whilst we wait for your perfect crown to arrive.
Are There Alternatives To Crown Fittings?
Crown fittings aren’t right for everyone, so your options will always be discussed in detail with your dentist. For less severe chips or gaps in the teeth, dental veneers might be the right choice for you. Dental fillings are another alternative to crown fittings, to fill cavities in the tooth.
As patient care is at the centre of everything we do, we take our time to get to know you and work together to find the treatment that is best suited to you and your lifestyle.
Why Visit Beyond Dental?
We promise you that after your first appointment at our irresistible practice, you will be counting down the days until you come back in two weeks time to have your temporary crown removed and your permanent crown fitted! Crown fittings last between 15 and 30 years on average, so you have plenty of time to show off that new smile.
Often, people worry about whether permanent and temporary crown fittings will hurt, but fear not! Our goal is to always put patient comfort first, making sure that our practices are relaxing, and of course that the tooth and surrounding area are completely numb. You may experience slight soreness and sensitivity following the procedure, but nothing you should worry about.

What Is A Crown Fitting?
A crown fitting is a tooth-shaped cap that can be placed over a decaying or fractured tooth to restore it without needing to replace the tooth completely. Crown fittings can also be used to improve the appearance of the teeth, helping with irregularity of shape or uneven spacing. This procedure helps you to maintain a healthy and natural looking smile.
Is It Normal To Have A Sensitive Tooth After Crown Fitting?
After having a crown fitting, short-term sensitivity is to be expected. It is likely that you will experience sensitivity for around two weeks following the procedure. If the sensitivity continues after this point, or you are experiencing any pain, then it’s important that you get in touch with your dentist.
What Is A Temporary Crown?
A temporary crown is a cap that is fitted onto your tooth for a short period of time, whilst a permanent custom crown is created for you. Having a temporary crown can help you to eat and chew properly, limit sensitivity and protect the gums whilst you wait for the permanent crown. It can take a few weeks to create the permanent crown in a laboratory, so the temporary crown makes sure you have a natural looking smile in the meantime. When the permanent crown is ready, it is simple to remove the temporary crown.
What Can I Eat With A Temporary Crown?
Although still strong, temporary crowns are more delicate than permanent ones, so there are a few foods that you need to be cautious with when it comes to eating. It is best to avoid very crunchy foods like hard bread, raw crunchy fruits and vegetables, corn on the cob and nuts. Avoiding chewy foods is also advised, like tough meat, sweets or bagels.
How Long Will A Crown Fitting Last?
With the right care, a crown fitting can last between 15 and 30 years on average. To prolong the life of your crown fitting, it is important that you maintain good oral hygiene and regularly visit your dentist.
