We use the most aesthetic and biocompatible materials, so your new crown will be more than just a new ‘crown’—it will be a new tooth that camouflages your natural smile.
A Crown is like a cap for a tooth, indicated when the tooth has sustained moderate-to-severe damage. It covers all the weakened parts of the damaged tooth, thus strengthening the remaining tooth structure and restoring its aesthetics.
Meanwhile, an onlay is indicated when the tooth has sustained mild-to-moderate damage, so a filling is insufficient for long-term, durable restoration. Still, the damage is not severe enough for a crown, so they are the halfway point between a filling and a crown.
Our clinicians use the highest-quality materials that provide solid functionality without compromising beautiful aesthetics. These materials complement your smile and facial profile because smile design is about more than just your teeth—a holistic process encompassing your whole face!

We understand that choosing the right dental treatment can come with many questions. To help you feel informed and confident in your care, we’ve answered some of the most commonly asked questions about this treatment. Our friendly team is always here to help if you need further information.
Bromsgrove Dental Specialists is one of the few dental practices in the area to offer same-day crowns and onlays using 3d printing technology. On the day of treatment, you can go home with a brand-new tooth.
Not only does this reduce the number of appointments needed to get a crown or onlay, but you won’t have to endure decay or dental injury for a moment longer. As soon as your dentist has taken digital scans of your teeth and discussed the aesthetics of your new crown/onlay, you can sit in the waiting room while your new crown is being printed.
If you’re feeling a little nervous about treatment, we offer IV (intravenous) sedation, which many of our patients describe as ‘magic’ for managing their phobia and nerves.
We care for many patients who come in to see us after failed dental work elsewhere, and we pride ourselves on finding solutions for you (even if you have been denied treatment in the past or something might not have gone to plan at another dental practice). We will always find a way forward for you.
A crown is, first and foremost, a restorative solution for dental decay and injuries. Their main job is to protect your teeth and restore damage that has occurred.
When moderate or severe dental decay has created a cavity (hole) in your teeth, a filling is rarely enough to tackle the issue and provide long-term preservation.
Before your crown is fitted, your dentist at Bromsgrove Dental Specialists will carefully remove the decayed portion of the tooth, causing complications.
Crowns are needed for patients who:
The lifespan of a crown is determined by several factors, one of which is the experience and skills of the dentist performing treatment. Here at Bromsgrove Dental Specialists, our dentists are known for an exacting level of attention to detail. We also thrive on meeting (and exceeding) our patients’ expectations, so you can expect fantastic results (don’t take our word for it, though – take a look at our patient reviews).
Your crown can last for 15+ years with a good at-home oral hygiene routine and regular dentist and hygienist check-ups by limiting your sugar and teeth-staining food and drink intake and avoiding biting on foreign objects.
Whilst a crown repairs damage to the whole surface of a tooth, onlays deal with damage to smaller, more localised areas of a tooth.
Onlays require less removal of natural tooth structure, so if we can use an onlay in place of a crown, we will do so (we will always try to preserve as much dental structure as possible).
