Dental Crown Replacement | Cosmetic Crowns & Veneers

Dental crown replacement is a common restorative treatment used to strengthen and improve the appearance of damaged or weakened teeth. Crowns are often needed after root canal treatment or when a tooth has a large cavity. Whether you\’re replacing an old crown or considering an upgrade, modern crowns are available in a variety of materials including porcelain and metal for a natural look and long-lasting durability. For patients seeking cosmetic improvements, veneers offer a minimally invasive solution to enhance the front surface of teeth and achieve a brighter, more uniform smile.

Replace Old Veneers & Crowns – Restore a Confident Smile

Veneers are cosmetic restorations used to improve the aesthetic appearance of the front teeth. They are thin shells of porcelain that are fitted over the front surfaces of the teeth to cover minor problems with spacing, alignment, discolouration and tooth length, as well as small chips and cracks. A single veneer can cover a permanently discoloured tooth when teeth whitening is not an option, whilst a full set (sometimes called a smile makeover) and improve the overall appearance of your smile.

Both Dental crown replacement and veneers are designed to last for a long time. However, in some cases you will need or want to have your crowns or veneers replaced, which is why we offer a crown and veneer replacement service at The Dental Surgery Burnham. Your old restorations may have become damaged, or you may have had an old metal crown that you would like replaced with a tooth-coloured alternative. Whatever the reason, if you want to replace your old veneers or crowns, please come in for a consultation at our Burnham dental practice.

How Veneer Replacement Works

Your dentist will remove your old veneers and will measure you up for new ones, by taking impressions of your teeth. A temporary veneer may be fitted whilst your new set is being made. The dentist will closely match your veneers to the natural colour of your teeth, so they will look beautiful and realistic.

Veneers require minimal preparation of your teeth, so the structure of each tooth will remain intact. Once your new veneers are ready you will be called back to our Burnham practice to have them fitted. Your dentist will check that you are entirely happy with the fit, feel, and appearance of your veneers before they are attached to your teeth with a strong dental bonding agent, giving you a beautiful, restored smile.

How Dental Crown Replacement Works

If you have an old, worn crown, a metal crown that you don’t like the look of, or large metal fillings, a replacement crown could be the best solution. Your dentist will remove your old crown or filling and will check for any additional tooth decay, before taking impressions of your tooth for your new crown to be made. If you chose a tooth-coloured crown, it will be closely matched to the natural shade of your teeth. A temporary filling will be placed between appointments, and when your new crown is ready, your dentist will carefully fit it, giving your tooth renewed strength as well as improving its appearance.
