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 cannot thank you enough!! Arne, Emma and all of the nurses and receptionists at Hest Bank dental. You are all assisting me in helping me get my teeth back to where they should be and also my confidence in returning to the dentist after 8 years! Thank you so much. I would also like to thank you for letting me document it all on TicTok!!

I highly recommend Hest Bank dental practice, they are always professional and approachable. With good honest preventative advice and quality treatment. The staff seem genuinely happy to work at the practice and are always polite and helpful. It is a very slick operation between hygienist and dentist and I personally can’t speak highly enough about my own dentist Pinar. Keep up the good work guys and continue to enjoy what you do. Thanks Nathan Seward

I got treated by Dr. Sofia Dias, she was so professional and quick, i had a broken fixed retainer and she provided the best treatment. Friendly staff as well!

Currently using a pseudonym, however the details below are accurate. I have been under Pinar for several years (that sounded way less naughty in my head) and she has often gone out of her way to provide me with excellent service. As an example, she rushed through my denture order so I would have them for my graduation photo. She is always professional yet empathetic and has a warm calming manner. This helps when you are a big scardie cat like me. All procedures are explained in a manner I can understand and Pinar is very patient with my often daft questions. All members of staff I have encountered from dental nurses to reception staff have been nothing less than a delight at every juncture. So thank you to all of the staff for outstanding treatment, and whoever is doing the customer service training, keep doing what you are doing. I would not hesitate in recommending Hest Bank Dental Care to friends and family alike. As you slide down the banister of life May the splinters never point the wrong way Noel

Absolutely fantastic dentists, the whole team is amazing, my dentist is Pinar and she has managed to take away my anxiety of dental visits completely! Always polite, professional and so friendly. The receptionists are lovely and the waiting area I find very calming. The team at the hygiene suite on the corner are excellent too. Overall I couldn't be happier with the treatment I have recieved, never disappointed.

I am apprehensive about going to the dentist surgery, however the situation is eased enormously by the manner of all the staff here. They are friendly, good humoured, courteous and explain procedures at all times. It makes the visit so much more comfortable.

Though professional and extremely competent the hygienists Helen and Emma are very friendly and help to ensure that the patient is relaxed and happy. I have a choking phobia and although they don’t emphasise this I know they are taking it into account with their care. Thank you both Julie
