Restore and Protect Damaged Teeth at Minti Dental Group
If you have a tooth that’s cracked, worn down or weakened by decay, a dental crown can help restore its strength and appearance. At Minti Dental Group, we provide high-quality crowns 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.
What Is a Dental Crown?

We offer a range of materials, including porcelain, ceramic and metal, to suit your needs and budget.

Ceramic Crowns
Highly aesthetic and metal-free, often used for patients with metal sensitivities or those wanting the most natural finish.
Metal Crowns
Durable and best suited for back teeth that need extra strength to handle heavy biting forces.

The Crown Procedure – What to Expect
Consultation
We assess your tooth and take digital scans or X-rays to plan your crown treatment in detail.
Tooth Preparation
The damaged tooth is gently reshaped to make space for the crown.
Impressions and Temporary Crown
We take an impression and fit a temporary crown while your permanent one is being custom-made in the lab.
Final Crown Placement
Your bespoke crown is securely placed and adjusted to fit your bite perfectly.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long do crowns last?
Most crowns last 10 to 15 years, sometimes longer, with proper care and maintenance.
2. Will the crown look natural?
Yes. Modern porcelain and ceramic crowns are carefully colour-matched to your surrounding teeth, so they blend in beautifully and most people won't be able to tell which tooth has been restored.
3. Does the crown procedure hurt?
No. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn't feel any pain. Some mild sensitivity in the days afterwards is normal and usually settles on its own.
4. Can you replace old or damaged crowns?
Absolutely. If your existing crown is loose, chipped, worn or discoloured, we can carefully remove it and fit a new one using modern materials for a refreshed look and feel.
