A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength and appearance. Crowns are used in all sorts of situations - to protect a tooth that's been heavily filled or had root canal treatment, to repair a tooth that's broken or worn down, to cover a discoloured tooth, or to sit on top of a dental implant as the final restoration.
Modern crowns are made from materials that closely match the look and feel of natural teeth. They're cemented permanently in place, so once fitted you can eat, drink and smile with them just as you would with your own teeth. Looked after well, a crown can last for many years - and for our patients in Bedford and Bedfordshire, that often means a tooth they thought they'd lose is comfortably back in service.

A crown is something you'll live with every day, so the precision behind it really matters. Here's why patients across Bedfordshire trust us with theirs.
Every crown is designed around the colour, shape and contour of your existing teeth - never one-shape-fits-all.
We work with skilled dental laboratories using premium materials, so your crown looks beautiful and lasts.

Crown treatment at Teamcare is carried out by our principal dentist Jai Basudev and our wider clinical team, who have worked together for over twenty years. Whether your crown is part of a single tooth restoration, follows root canal treatment, or sits on top of a dental implant, you'll be looked after by a team that knows you and the practice inside out.


A crown is often the right choice when a filling alone isn't enough - for example if a tooth is heavily decayed, badly cracked, worn down, or has just had root canal treatment and needs strengthening. Crowns are also routinely used as the final restoration on top of dental implants, and to improve the appearance of a tooth that's discoloured beyond what whitening can fix.
If your tooth is mostly healthy and just slightly chipped or stained, you might be better off with a smaller, less invasive option like a filling, composite bonding or a veneer. And if the issue is mainly cosmetic across several front teeth, a veneer or smile makeover approach may suit you better.
We'll always be honest at your appointment. If a less invasive option would do the job, we'll say so - we don't believe in doing more dentistry than your tooth actually needs.
Crown pricing varies depending on the material chosen and the complexity of the case. Our flexible finance options mean you can spread the cost in a way that suits you.
