Crowns are becoming an increasingly popular method for fixing broken or damaged teeth, but what does it entail? We asked one of our own patients how they felt about the treatment Garvan Grant thought the issues with his broken teeth couldn’t be fixed but after a consultation with Dr Jennifer Collins, Clincal Lead General Dentist at Northumberland Dental Care, he had two crowns fitted. He talks to us about the process and the results. The problems I’ve always taken relatively good care of my teeth but, like most people, they were far from perfect.

Once fitted, they allow your dentist to mount replacement teeth onto them. The dental implants will not look out of place in your mouth and the treatment can take anywhere from six weeks to six months, depending on the specific treatment that needs to be completed.
