Crowns
Crowns are advised when it is necessary to protect, strengthen and restore teeth. They may also be used to cover discoloured or misshapen teeth to improve the overall appearance of your smile.
Available in a range of materials, our crowns permanently sit over the entire visible surface of your existing tooth and are made to look as real as your own natural tooth.
The procedure takes two appointments. At the first appointment, we minimally shape the tooth and place a temporary crown. About 14 days later at your second appointment, we remove the temporary crown, place your new crown and check the fit and your bite.
The crown can last for many years if good oral hygiene is maintained, depending on the condition of the original tooth. Additional care should be taken to keep the crown and surrounding area clean. Your St Anne's Dental Practice dentist or dental hygienist will recommend an appropriate home care regime.

Made to feel welcome and relaxed. My thanks to both Adam and the hygienist (whose name I can't remember, I'm sorry)

Sunita Sahota was excellent. She identified the likely reason for my plaque deposits and removed them in preparation for my visit to the hygienist in a few weeks time. She also praised the dental work of my previous dentist who is based in Eastbourne. Sunita and her nurse (sorry I missed her name) were both attentive and highly professional. Another bonus is that St Anne's is a five minute walk from my home!

Very detailed descriptions given by the hygienist of the work she was carrying out, and thorough checks on my own dental care approach with positive suggestions. She also highlighted a potential issue requiring ongoing care not previously mentioned.

I was 5 minutes late for my appointment with Anna the hygienist, due to road works, but she saw me straight away and explained the airflow treatment, which I went for. She was gentle, but thorough, and I was very pleased with the result. I then saw Adam, who was very thorough as usual. All together a far better experience than with the previous hygienist (who has now left the practice).
