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 Hest Bank Dental Care dentist or dental hygienist will recommend an appropriate home care regime.

I'm a very nervous patient at the dentist but am so glad I finally made an appointment with Sofia. She really put me at ease and made me feel comfortable from the start, answering all my questions and being a very calming presence. She's very knowledgeable and clear with how she described my options and I actually can't believe that I've come out of this experience less scared than how I went in. And I'm super happy with the results too. Highly recommend Sofia at Hest Bank for professional, kind, caring service and excellent dental care!

I've had the pleasure of working in several dental practices within Lancashire and fulfilling many roles with in the industry. There are things you learn, notice and pick up along the way. More specifically you see a difference in care and approach from practice to practice. Hest Bank Dental Care has been a stand out practice in their approach to the patients and the care they give. More importantly the time, care and detail to attention they give children, nervous patients and a whole variety of vulnerable people. My family from my parents to my children have always received the up most care and gentle approach to all their treatment. Hest bank really stands out for it's professional care it gives whilst remaining friendly and very family feeling orientated practice. I couldn't recommend Hear Bank enough.

From the moment I called to make a new appointment I felt at ease. I saw Arnie for a check up knowing I’d need a treatment plan and felt comfortable throughout the process. I also had a hygiene appointment with Jake and he was great. Everything was explained clearly and I had options to do what was best for me. Highly recommend!

Jake the hygienist takes his time to explain what he is doing, and how to better care for my teeth. He’s punctual, polite and puts me at my ease. His assistant was lovely, too. They made me feel very comfortable, although I’m a nervous patient.

Best Bank Dental is the first dental surgery I’ve ever used where I’m not terrified of the dentist. All the staff are friendly and make me feel “at home”. They remember my name, treat me with courtesy and respect in a comfortable environment.Katie Henry is fabulous. She explains everything and gives treatment advice without pushing it. Genevieve the hygienist is gentle and thorough. The reception staff are wonderful.

Katie and Toni are a great team. Both are really friendly and supportive. Katie is very thorough in her work and explains all aspects of the treatments in detail so you know what is happening and why. In my opinion Katie genuinely cares about delivering the best possible service to her customers, I would highly recommend her!
