What is a dental crown?
Your tooth's protective cover.
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over your entire tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. Think of it as a protective helmet for a tooth that has been damaged by decay, trauma, or root canal treatment.
At York House Dental Practice in West Byfleet, we craft crowns from premium materials to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Whether you need to protect a weakened tooth, restore a broken one, or improve the appearance of a discoloured restoration, crowns offer a durable, long-lasting solution.
Our experienced dentists will assess your individual needs and recommend the most suitable crown type for your situation — balancing aesthetics, durability, and budget.

Why choose
dental crowns in Surrey.
Dental crowns are one of the most versatile and reliable restorations in modern dentistry.
Natural appearance
Modern crowns are crafted to match the exact shade, shape, and translucency of your natural teeth — virtually indistinguishable from the real thing.
Strength & durability
Crowns protect weakened teeth from further damage and commonly last 10–15 years, often longer with good care.
Pain relief
Covering a damaged or cracked tooth eliminates sensitivity and pain, allowing you to eat and drink comfortably again.
Preserve natural tooth
Unlike extraction, a crown allows you to keep your natural tooth root — better for jawbone health and long-term stability.
Improved function
Restore full chewing ability and speak clearly again. Crowns rebuild tooth structure damaged by decay or trauma.
Confidence boost
Hide discolouration, chips, or misshapen teeth. Smile freely knowing your teeth look great.
Visit by visit:
five steps to a restored tooth.
Getting a crown is straightforward and comfortable. From your first consultation in West Byfleet to final fitting — we guide you through every stage.
Consultation & assessment
Your dentist examines the tooth, takes digital X-rays, and discusses your options. We explain crown types, costs, and expected outcomes.
Tooth preparation
The tooth is gently reshaped to accommodate the crown. Local anaesthetic numbs the tooth, so you usually feel pressure rather than pain. We take a digital impression or mould.
Temporary crown fitted
A temporary crown protects your tooth while your permanent crown is crafted by our expert dental laboratory (typically 2-3 weeks).
Crown fitting
Your permanent crown is checked for fit, bite, and aesthetics. Once perfect, it's cemented securely in place using dental adhesive.
Aftercare & review
We explain how to care for your new crown and schedule a follow-up if needed. Regular check-ups help ensure long-term success.
Two Appointments
Crown treatment typically requires two visits over 2-3 weeks. Between appointments, you'll wear a temporary crown to protect your tooth.
Price Promise
The quote you receive is the price you pay. No hidden fees or surprise charges once treatment begins.

Is a crown the right fix?
When a crown is needed
A tooth that is cracked, heavily filled, or has had root canal treatment often needs a crown so it does not split.
When it is the wrong next step
A crown is the wrong next step when the tooth is too broken down to hold one, or when gum disease is active. Those problems are treated first, or the tooth is replaced.
Colour or edge only
A front tooth that only needs a colour or edge change may be better served by bonding or a veneer. We say which, and why.
What the crown fee includes
The crown fee
From £795 for a crown, £850 all-ceramic, £900 zirconia. The material is chosen for the bite and the position, not for a trend.
Quoted separately
Root canal treatment, a core or post, and a temporary crown beyond the planned visits are quoted as their own items. A molar root canal starts from £775.
Written estimate
You receive the written estimate before the tooth is prepared.
Will the preparation hurt?
Local anaesthetic
Local anaesthetic numbs the tooth. You feel pressure and the sound of the drill, not sharp pain.
Between visits
A temporary crown covers the tooth between visits. It can be sensitive to cold. Call us if it comes off, and bring it with you.
After the permanent crown
Pain that is worsening, or a tooth that is tender to bite after the permanent crown is fitted, needs a check. A high bite is a common and fixable cause.
After the crown is fitted
First 24 hours
The anaesthetic wears off. Avoid chewing on that side until it has. Ordinary pain relief is enough for most people.
Days 2 to 3
Mild sensitivity can linger. The bite should feel even. Call the same day if it does not.
Call us if
Call us if the crown is loose, the gum swells, pain is waking you at night, or you can feel a sharp edge.
How long a crown lasts
With good cleaning
Crowns commonly last 10 to 15 years, and often longer with good cleaning and a guard if you grind.
Why a crown is replaced
Decay at the edge, a crack in the tooth, and grinding are the usual reasons a crown is replaced. The tooth underneath can often be re-crowned.
Who fits your crown
Crowns are planned and fitted by the dentists at York House. Dr Kaveet Patel has a diploma in restorative and aesthetic dentistry. The dentist named on your plan is the one who prepares the tooth.

Dental crown questions,
answered by our dentists.
Common questions about dental crowns in West Byfleet and Surrey. Don't see yours? Call 01932 348864 orbook a consultation.
How long does a dental crown take to fit?
The process typically requires two appointments over 2-3 weeks. At the first visit, we prepare the tooth and fit a temporary crown. Your permanent crown is then crafted in our laboratory. At the second visit, we fit and cement the permanent crown.
Does getting a crown hurt?
The tooth preparation is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you usually feel only pressure and vibration during the procedure. Some mild sensitivity for a few days after treatment is normal and usually resolves quickly.
How long do dental crowns last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, crowns commonly last 10 to 15 years, and often longer. Factors affecting longevity include the material used, where the crown is placed, and habits like teeth grinding.
What is the difference between crowns and veneers?
Crowns cover the entire tooth surface, while veneers only cover the front surface. Crowns are recommended for teeth that are significantly damaged, heavily restored, or need structural reinforcement. Veneers are ideal for cosmetic improvements to relatively healthy front teeth.
Can a crowned tooth get cavities?
The crown itself cannot decay, but the tooth underneath can. Good oral hygiene is essential — brush twice daily, floss around the crown, and attend regular check-ups to prevent decay at the crown margin.
What does a dental crown cost in West Byfleet?
Crowns at York House start from £795, depending on the material chosen. All-ceramic crowns start from £850 and zirconia from £900. We provide a detailed, itemised quote at your consultation with no hidden fees.
Do you offer finance for dental crowns?
Yes, we partner with a regulated finance provider to help spread the cost of treatment. Ask our team about available payment plans — we're happy to explain your options.
Can I get a crown on my front teeth?
Absolutely. For front teeth, we typically recommend all-ceramic or zirconia crowns for the most natural appearance. These materials closely mimic natural tooth enamel in translucency and shading.
What if my crown comes loose or falls off?
Contact us immediately. Keep the crown safe — it can often be recemented. Avoid chewing on that side until we see you. We'll arrange an appointment promptly to assess and resolve the issue.
