Dental Crowns in Harlow
Restore and Protect Damaged Teeth at Nuffield Dental Practice
If you have a tooth that is cracked, worn down, or weakened by decay, a dental crown can help restore its strength and appearance. At Nuffield Dental Practice in Harlow, we provide high-quality crowns that are designed to protect your teeth and keep your smile looking natural.
A crown fits over the entire tooth like a cap, helping to preserve the tooth structure while restoring full function.

The Crown Procedure – What to Expect
Consultation
We assess your tooth and take digital scans or X-rays to plan your crown treatment.
Tooth Preparation

Impressions and Temporary Crown
We take an impression and fit a temporary crown while your permanent one is being made.
Final Crown Placement
Your custom crown is securely placed and adjusted to fit your bite.
The Importance of Treating Gum Disease Early
Untreated gum disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss in the UK. But with early detection and treatment, it’s completely manageable — and often reversible. Many of our Harlow patients are surprised how much better they feel (and smell!) after just one deep cleaning session.
Gum health is also linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic conditions — so looking after your gums means looking after your whole body.
With the right care, a dental crown can last over 10 years. To keep it in good condition:
- Brush and floss daily, especially around the crown
- Avoid biting on hard items like pens or ice
- Visit us for routine check-ups and hygiene visits
- Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth
We will check your crown during each exam to make sure it is still performing well.
