General Information About Crowns

At The Dental Centre Belfast, we can repair and protect a tooth that has become damaged or weakened through decay with a dental crown.

Crowns are used to repair broken, damaged and weakened teeth to give long-term protection. This weakening may be a result of tooth decay or a large filling. They can also be used to help improve the appearance of a tooth, attach a bridge or cover a dental implant.

Questions you may have about this treatment

What are crowns made of?

Crowns can be made of metal, porcelain or porcelain bonded to precious metal. Bonded crowns are the most commonly used crowns, although some patients might choose an all-porcelain crown for their front teeth for aesthetic reasons.

How long will the process of getting a crown take?

Crowns are bespoke to each patient, carefully designed by dental technicians to specific requirements prescribed by our Dentist, so you shouldn’t expect to be fitted with one in one appointment. You will visit us at least twice in the course of getting your crown, with two weeks between each appointment.

Does getting a crown hurt?

Getting a crown doesn’t hurt because you will have the area numbed with local anaesthetic. The work done during preparation for your new crown will feel similar to getting a filling.

   Recently had my smile completed by Dr Conor Donnelly and I couldn't be happier!!! Conor was so professional from my very first appointment. I don't like going to the dentist as it is, but Conor made me feel at ease on every appointment (getting to watch Netflix is a bouns) He has given me the confidence to smile. I now have the whitest natural teeth i have always wanted! I have received soo many compliments on my teeth. I couldn't reccomend him enough! Thank you to Conor & all the lovely staff at the dental centre.

   I recently had my transformation done by Conor Donnelly and I honestly couldn’t recommend him & the staff enough. From start to finish it was an amazing experience. Conor is a perfectionist and takes great pride in his work. He was amazing throughout the whole process he made me feel so relaxed and comfortable at every appointment. The outcome far exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t be more grateful with my new smile!!

   I came to Conor with an idea in mind to have a more full smile. With the consultation conor advised me to go for 10 composite veneers and I couldn’t have asked for better.
The process was so easy Thanks to conor and the team, everything was made simple for myself and very fast. Any questions I’ve had they have been more than helpful with the response.

I simply cannot thank Conor enough for being so helpful and professional in everything he does. Could not recommend Conor & the dental centre more.

   Have wanted my teeth done for years and I’m so happy I’ve went forward with this. Couldn’t recommend it more to anyone who is thinking about it. Jack was very professional and made me feel comfortable. Use to hate the dentist but I couldn’t wait to visit the dental centre????

   I have to say this is one of the best things I have ever done jack has completely changed my smile & my confidence, I always had a fear of the dentist & honestly I was put at ease everything is explained to you. The tv on the ceiling was fantastic I got to watch my Netflix series with headphones on and totally distracted me, not to mention how stunning the dental centre is it’s more than 5*  All the nurses & staff are amazing always greeted with a smile. So if this is something you are thinking of doing honestly book a consultation! Thanks so much to The dental centre
