Dental Crowns

Crowns can be used for broken or heavily filled teeth that aren’t going to last!

They can also be used to even out your smile and the shape of your teeth. 

There are different types of crowns available and we will always take the time to figure out what is best for you.

Porcelain crowns are going to keep your smile looking completely natural – no one would even know that the tooth wasn’t your own!

They are mostly used for the teeth that may need to be replaced in the front of your mouth.

Gold and silver crowns are more commonly used for the teeth near the back of your mouth as they are very durable. 

If the idea of having a solid metal tooth replacement isn’t for you, we can use a tooth which is both.  A porcelain crown with a metal core can be used to keep your smile looking natural!

Because the crown is attached to your tooth, they are the ideal alternative to dentures, you can eat and drink as you always have done and smile like never before! 

So pleased as a family we have chosen Southport Rd for all our dentistry work from regular check ups and hygienist appointments .David and his team are so approachable professional and friendly. Recently we have received some amazing cosmetic work - teeth straightening, veneer replacements, composite and whitening work …. David’s attention to detail has been second to none we are so pleased with the finished results … and of course all pain free ! Thank you … big smiles from us !read more

All your questions answered…

  • What Are Crowns?

    Crowns (or caps) are used to protect and restore teeth which are damaged.  They are often used over teeth that have experienced large amounts of decay and can no longer hold a filling and can be used after a tooth has undergone a root canal treatment to protect what is left of your treated tooth to ensure that you continue to have a smile that is functional.

  • Why Choose A Crown?

    There are many reasons that you might choose to have a crown, including: 

    • Your tooth is broken and can’t be repaired with a filling
    • Crowns can be used cosmetically to improve the appearance of your smile and in some cases make it straighter too.
    • They can be used after root canal treatment to strengthen your tooth

    As with any treatment here at Southport Road we will always discuss all of the treatment options available to you to figure out what will achieve the best results for you and your smile. 

  • What Will My Crowns Be Made Of?

    There are a number of different materials that crowns can be made from.  Some are made of gold as this is very durable and strong.    For the teeth that you show when you smile a porcelain crown will generally be used to give you a completely natural appearance.

  • How Long Do Crowns Last?

    Your new crown needs just as much care and attention as your own teeth.  If neglected your new crown, just like your natural teeth, will become damaged and need replacing.  But with good care and regular visits to the dentist there is no reason that a high quality crown won’t last you 10 years+.

  • What Happens Next?

    Once you have decided that a crown is the treatment option for you and you are ready to go ahead with having the crown fitted, the first appointment you will come in for will be to prepare your tooth. This involves reshaping the tooth so that your crown can be placed over the top of it and sit in place like a natural tooth.  After the tooth has been shaped we will take an impression of your teeth to send to our technicians at the dental lab who will create your beautiful new tooth.

    Around a week later you will come back in to have the laboratory made tooth fitted.  Between these two appointments we will place a temporary crown onto the prepared tooth to ensure that no damage is done to it. Before your new crown is fixed into place we will show you how your smile will look and make sure that you are happy with the feel and look of your new tooth.  Once you are happy the crown will be bonded to your prepared tooth so that it is secure, functional and allows you to talk, eat and smile with confidence.

I have a lot of anxiety about going to the dentist. A friend recommended Southport Road Dental. After the initial consultation, I was given a very clear treatment plan. The dentist, Cate, has been very patient with me, she helped me to remain calm. Cate went through every procedure with me on each visit. She would check I'm ok throughout the appointment. Each dental nurse I've had in the room has been very kind and supportive. Cate's kind, calm and professional approach helped to put me at ease and trust in her. after several appointments, my oral health is now back on track and I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you to Cate and the team. If you are a nervous patient, I highly recommend Southport Road Dental.read more

I contacted David 8 months before my wedding day, hoping he could give me straight white teeth! He did not let me down! I was in the chair having my braces fitted withing days, after our first email. I was a little nervous but David made me feel comfortable and reassured. He took the braces off 3 weeks before the wedding then quickly got me set up with teeth whitening. I spent the whole day of my wedding smiling! Knowing that my teeth looked amazing! A friend came to me and said 'every picture I have, you have a massive smile on your face' you should always smile on your wedding day but without the help from David I would have felt uncomfortable smiling with my old teeth!!Thank you so much!!! I love them!!!!read more

I cannot praise this dentist practice enough. I have in the past had bad experiences from dentists and this has made me very apprehensive, to say the least, with visiting dentists. I was that worried about going to the dentist, I have suffered for years and used strong pain killers instead of sorting the problem. Being in pain was no way to live so I decided enough was enough. My partner found Southport Road Dental for me as they advertise pain free dentistry. Given my past experiences I was very sceptical but being in pain again, I needed help. My consultation went well, everyone I met was friendly and my dentist Richa Sharma was amazing, taking time to make me feel calm and relaxed. As I had expected I required a couple of extractions and a filling which were then booked in. I must admit I didn't think I would be able to pluck up the courage to go back but I did to start my treatment. They advertise pain free dentistry and that is exactly what you get. Richa Sharma Is absolutely amazing. She has an amazing knack of being able to make you feel relaxed, explains everything and goes at a pace you are comfortable with. So far I have had one extraction and a filling and have felt nothing during the procedure. I still have more treatment and at the time of writing this, I am psyching myself up for today's visit. I just want to say a huge thank you to Richa and not forgetting Richa's assistant, (I do hope that is the right term) who is absolutely lovely. Thank you to everyone at Southport Road Dental, a truly amazing dentist.Paul Whittakerread more

Conscious Sedation.Rashmi and David are the most empathic and patient centred Dentists I have ever experienced…When Rashmi offered conscious sedation as a possible solution to my inability to access root canal treatment, I was resistant to say the least! However, Rashmi allayed every fear I had and explained the safety aspects/risks/benefits of conscious sedation for patients like myself, who could otherwise face losing their teeth.I have had 3 conscious sedations for root canal treatments in the last few months. I wish I had accessed it earlier by trusting Rashmi’s Experience, professionalism, patience and genuine care…Following the sedations I had no recollections of the treatment which is a Huge benefit to anxious patients like me. All 3 sedations were positive experiences enhanced by the amazing team at Southport road - Julie and Lindsey the sedation nurses were calm, reassuring and warmly supportive, as were all the other staff present during my treatments! Rashmi performed the sedations whilst David expertly completed the root canal treatments… I am eternally grateful to you all for getting me out of pain and saving my teeth - You’re absolute legends!read more

After years of hiding my teeth and hating myself in photos I took the plunge and went to david at southport road who really put me at ease. He gave me options, advised me on the best ways to straighten my smile and even put me at ease when I needed a small tooth extracted. One of my biggest worries!I love the results after a year of braces. I feel so much better about my smile. Its given me some of my confidence back. The staff really looked after me in this time and I could not be more pleasedKelly xread more

Where do I start with Southport Road Dental Practice? They are amazing! From start to finish! I used to be an extremely nervous patient but David reassured me that I had nothing to worry about! They were gentle and having the braces put on and removed didn’t hurt in the slightest. I’ve always hated my smile so I hid it for years but now I’ve had them straightened and whitened I can’t stop smiling! Couldn’t recommend David enough! I probably talk about Southport Road Dental Practice every week! Thank you so much for making me love my smile!!read more

Best Dentist I’ve ever been to! I felt really safe as they have given me emotional support as well. I had to have an emergency tooth extraction as my whole cheek was very swollen. They really made sure that I no longer feel anything before proceeding with the procedure. I didn’t even realise that the tooth was already out. Thank you very much Marc, and his assistant. I unfortunately didn’t get her name but she was a star as well, both of them were!read more

I was seen as an emergency. Bad infection and tooth needed removing. It was a little tricky to remove but Richa did an amazing job, put me at ease and was really reassuring and the reatment was pain free!! 😁 Richa and the dental assistant were both lovely and understanding didn't rush and listened to any worry i had. I have now booked in with Richa as a new patient. All staff I met in the practice from reception to treatment room fantastic. Thank you Southport Road Dental.read more

I hadn't been anywhere near a dentist since I was forced to go as a child. I dont know how I managed to go through my 20's and 30's without problems with my teeth, they were lovely and clean with no fillings. My gums however where not doing so well, I used to spit large amounts of blood when I cleaned my teeth but just chose to ignore it.I am a needle phobic, something I have really struggled with for years and have some pretty horrific memories of sitting in that dentist chair.I reached a point where I needed to try and move forward with my dental phobia, my luck would run out at some point and I didnt want to have to approach a new dentist in an emergency situation. I needed to find someone I could open up to and trust. Someone to work through options and treatments with me step by step.I got in touch with Southport Road Dental in Chorley as they provide sedation dentistry as an option for nervous patients. Rashmi and her team could not have been more welcoming, understanding, knowledgeable and professional. I didnt feel judged having neglected my gums and that was so important to me. From the initial consultation right through my treatment pathway I have been cared for to an exceptionally high standard, Rashmi went above and beyond.The sedation worked really well and was painless. Even though I still have anxieties, Rashmi has been there for me every step of the way and we can continue to work on keeping regular appointments and moving forward.This dental practice and not only saved me losing my teeth but has changed my outlook on my oral health and general well being.For any dental phobics out there, please dont hesitate to give them a call. You don't even sit in the dentist chair for the first appointment. Just go and have a coffee and a chat and see what they could do for you. I promise you wont regret it.A heart felt THANK YOU to Rashmi and Southport Road Dental. You're AMAZING. Charlotteread more

I couldn't thank David and the team enough for transforming my smile and (not to sound dramatic) but my life too! I've honestly not stopped smiling since and having straight teeth has made me feel so much more confident in myself.It's a big decision to get braces at 27 but after looking at myself on Zoom calls for months, I knew I had to do something!I'd been to other orthodontists for an initial consultation but I was confident from my first contact with David (via the virtual consultation email), I knew I could put my trust in him.The braces were really discreet and the treatment throughout was pain free, which I was surprised and very happy with! The whole team were always very friendly and put me at ease throughout the whole process. I wouldn't say I look forward to going to the dentist, but I never felt nervous either which is definitely a good sign.I can honestly now say that getting braces and getting them with Southport Road Dental was the best decision of my life. Thank you so much!read more

I cannot recommend Southport Road Dental enough, they are outstanding. Very professional, modern high quality dentistry & pain free. Met David and Rashmi about 10 years ago and they treated me then with a very personal and caring approach. David has just carried out a very complex procedure on me and I can only say my experience was definitely 5 stars. David and Rashmi in my opinion are by far the best I have come across. Also many thanks to everyone else I and my wife have seen ie Michelle (Hygienist) & all the nurses & receptionist. Thank you.read more

Thank you so much for my new smile , highly recommended, everyone at the surgery are friendly and professional and nothing is too much trouble for them, David was recommended to me by another dentist and I can totally understand why.the care, information and attention to detail while dealing with an anxious patient was perfect and I’m now a proud owner of dental implants I couldn’t be happier. I was so impressed by the surgery I asked for them to see my grandson who has never been a fan of the dentist , infact I’d actually go as far as saying he’s petrified,again I was not let down, his dentist was Mark and for a ten year old to walk out and say “grandma that dentist was really nice thank you for taking me there “was something I thought I’d never hear and means so much. Thank-you everyone you are simply the best at what you do.read more

Before I met Rashmi I hadn't been to a dentist in over 4 years. Due to my strong gagging reflex and an extreme nervousness: the idea of going to a dentist was simply not something I could comprehend. However having waited in the waiting room at the surgery in the past; so knowing a bit about it and feeling relatively OK in the surgery and knowing they dealt with extremely nervous patients, I decided to give it a try. I'm really pleased that I did. The treatment I got from and continue to get from Rashmi and the entire team is simply amazing. I am still nervous but I trust her and the team implicitly. She worked with me; talked me through everything and alleviated my fears as much as she was able to; without me feeling judged. The whole team is friendly and welcoming and it is just a wonderful practice. It is not a practice that feels clinical, which to me helped enormously but at the same same the work is done to the highest level. I would highly recommend the whole team but especially Rashmi. For any patients who feel exceedingly nervous; this is without a doubt the place to go. Thank you so much to everyone at Southport Road dental practice. Xx ❤😊☺read more

I am very nervous about going to the dentist but I had to go as I was in pain. My husband and I did our research and Southport Road Dental scored highly on the satisfaction scale. I was helped with my anxiety and my treatment went very well. Rashmi and Lyndsay couldn't have looked after me better, they are a great team. Nothing was too much trouble and they were very patient and caring. I now feel a lot better about my teeth and my appearance in general. Keep up the great work and thank you.read more

The staff never rush me and are keen to explain and take the time needed to give me the confidence to proceed with treatment. Linzi, one of the nurses, recently assisted Alice, one of the dentist's, when I needed impressions for whitening my teeth. Thanks so much to both of them for their kindness and patience throughout. This practice is lovely, especially if you have anxiety. Believe me, Southport Road has proven that nothing has to hurt anymore!read more

Initially I went to SRD to have my teeth straightened, I was so pleased with the results and treatment that I received that I registered myself and my husband with the practice for all of our dental care. Thanks to David I am no longer conscious about the appearance of my teeth; he has restored my smile and I am thrilled to bits. Tonight I had my first check up and hygienist appointment. I am amazed at the level of care and high standard of treatment that I received. Everything was thoroughly explained and I did not feel anything during my treatment with the hygienist. I don’t know how you do it but treatment really is pain free. I have recommended this practice to friends and family who will be getting in touch soon. Thank you so much to David and his team.See you in 6 months 😁read more

Having a cleft palate and, as a result my jaws cut to bits/resectioned amongst other things, I *have* to have a good dentist. It's like the NHS handed me this £x00,000 piece of art - and I'm totally not to be trusted to look after it! I've seen David for years and every single element of my dental health is meticulously monitored and managed. But this dedication applies across the entire team - there's no panic if David isn't available, as Rashmi is perfectly happy picking up any dramas and handles them just as professionally. Supported by the amazing Reception and admin teams nothing is ever a crisis. I cannot speak highly enough of them in keeping my expensive work-of-art in top condition.But also the dedication and attention to detail from the Hygienists is amazing. I've had *many* dental cleans in my life, but Michelle is absolutely *incredible* and the best ever. She works so hard and meticulously goes over every very single one of my weird and dodgy cracks-and-crevices and owns the entire cleaning process with me - you come back with serious homework to undertake between visits, and that suits me absolutely. Do not ever let Michelle leave! 😍Hopefully, with the help of everyone at SRD my NHS £x00,000 investment will remain in excellent condition to my end-of-days ... I wouldn't trust anyone else! 💞read more

I cannot believe the difference going to this dentist has made to me, when I initially attended to discuss a possible brace i basically had a meltdown a tooth had fallen out and i just didn't know what to do i was truly unhappy with the appearance of my teeth and didn't feel that would change , I also hadn't found a dentist who I felt was really helping me ...A year later and I've just had my brace taken off and I'm a truly different person because of it. Dr David Hickey and all the amazing staff have been friendly, supportive , informative and helpful ...I wouldn't dream about going anywhere else now and recommend this practice to everyone. Thank you so much!read more

I can't thank David and the team enough for getting me over the fear! I had really traumatizing experiences at the dentist as a child, even being held down by one before! Which left me growing up very nervous and always anxious about having any treatment, not to mention I'm a wimp when it comes to pain, so I avoided going.. Im so pleased with my smile. I wouldn't go any where else now, even for just a quick check up. It's such a welcoming, and friendly place, and really is pain free!! Thank you again David.read more

Thank you so much to David and team for totally tranforming my teeth in less than a year. I unfortunately cracked my teeth as a child and spent all my teens hating them. The top right picture is before, then with my clear braces (which nobody could tell), after they came off and finally after composite bonding to fix the 2 front teeth. I don't normally write reviews (and they aren't the most flattering photos) but I wanted to recommend to everyone. I have referred all my friends who have asked and trust they will be delighted too! Thanks to you I've completely gained my confidence back in my smile. 😁😁😁read more

What an amazing place!Went here for braces on the back of my teeth - as I’ve had them later in life and felt like it would suit me better to have them out of sight. I had the consultation and then was given clear pricing for each of the different options. There was no pressure applied to go ahead or to choose a particular option. All of the staff were lovely and the level of service is excellent. Saw Rashmi for a filling, the hygienist for a clean up and then David for everything brace related.They have taken my teeth from completely out of shape (where one was actually horizontal) to perfectly in line! I’m so pleased with the results! Thank you!read more

Visited again today. So much happier here than my old place. Amazed by the care that my 6yr old recieved having to have a tooth extracted after neglect from my old dentist. She was put at ease the whole way through. Higy recommend.

Southport Road Dental practice was recommended to me by a friend who had just finished her treatment. I can honestly say from start to finish the process was smooth and totally pain free. The reception team/dental nurses are a credit to the practice, they are all very polite and well mannered. I would mostly like to thank David. He is fantastic, he kept me at ease throughout the whole process and I can’t thank him and the practice team enough for keeping those dentistry anxieties at bay. Thanks again for giving me my new smile for my wedding Day in April! I highly recommend!!!read more

I first went to Southport Road Dental a year ago after my own NHS Dental receptionist told me I couldn't be seen about a cracked tooth one Friday morning because I wasn't in pain, but I should ring after the weekend to be triaged! I was drawn to them because of the 'painfree' aspect and I've found that they certainly live up to it. I usually see Alice and she always puts me at ease. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming and I'd recommend this practice to anyone and it's definitely worth the trip from Southport to me!read more

I'm absolutely terrified of dentists. It's the only phobia at 58 years old I cannot get a grip on.I found Southport Road Dental on line and liked the 'pain free' focus.I have now had 3 appointments and can honestly say although not major treatments for someone as nervous as me treatments of any kind are a major stresser.My appointments have been handled with professionalism, empathy and care. I have felt in control at all times and have full confidence in their handling of my treatments.I still have a way to go to get my smile at its best but I'm a lot closer than I was last month! Thank you to all the team for supporting me through this.I'd recommend you to everyone.read more

Amazing treatment for a very scared 9 year old last week from Alice and all the staff at Southport Road Dental. After an initial wobble, he sailed through his treatment thanks to your fantastic care, and said afterwards he didn't feel a thing and wouldn't be frightened next time. Thank you so much!

If your fear of visiting a dentist takes over your life. If you are too embarrassed to smile. If you are too afraid to brush your teeth in case you lose some of your teeth. If people look at the state of your mouth rather than look at you when you 'have' to talk to someone. If you fear you will get a lecture from the dentist when you've plucked up courage to think about booking an appointment. WORRY NO MORE THIS IS THE SURGERY TO GO TO ASAP. That's me above ! I wouldn't even smile on our daughter's wedding day for the photos !! I beg you to see these wonderful people. I'm NOT a family member or close family friend, I'm an extremely anxious person as far as dental treatment is concerned. 22nd July 2016 I had every tooth PAINLESSLY numbed and spent at least 45 mins in the hygienists chair listening to my music through their headphones so I couldn't hear the tools being used ! I then spent another 40 mins or so with Rashmie (David's wife) planning treatment and having rays. I didn't feel a thing - not even my nose !!! Please don't fear the dentist anymore, I'm not saying my fear has completely disappeared as I'm having 6 teeth removed this Friday and never had that under local so yes, I'm afraid of the unknown I'm only human after all, but I know for certain that every appointment after that will be a doddle (and when & if ever necessary again for whatever reason TOTALLY PAIN FREE). I know for sure that when I've paid off my bill I will get my husband off his NHS dentist's list straight to Southport Dental practice, these are the caring non judgemental people you need and want to look after your smile - if you don't have one, you will have soon, just like I will ☺read more

I can't recommend this dental practice highly enough. All the staff are lovely and welcoming, which immediately reduces stress levels! My dentist, Gonzalo, is absolutely fantastic- very professional, meticulous attention to detail and a warm, empathic manner. The recent extraction I had was completely pain and trauma free. After a number of unpleasant experiences at other dental practices in the area, I think I'm finally regaining my trust in the dental profession!read more

I have been in Show business nearly 40 years (good grief, that long !!) I sing, so need my teeth to look as good and white as possible, I have previously had two excellent dentist, one when I was young and a Harley street Specialist. I found David on the internet, and am I pleased, Over the years I have had all kinds of procedures to my teeth and gums more root canals than I have roots and Brunel would have been amazed at my bridge work. However the passage of time meant I needed major repair work done, and wow although I am still having treatment, I am totally impressed with the work done. Nothing is too much trouble and pain free is the truth. Implants, easy, no pain........and I can smile again. So if you are looking to find the perfect answer to any dental problems, look no further, you have found the best. If this sounds over the top, quite right, you will not find better. thank you, very very much.read more

Has to be special for me to write a review!! From walking in, receptionist - great But the service, treatment and reassurance received from Rashmi was 2nd to none. Never been a huge fan of going to the dentists and always make an excuse to postpone but since finding southport road dental surgery I've now regained my faith and confidence. Thank you!read more

Can't recommend Southport Road Dental practice highly enough....Rashmi and David are a brilliant team and their patience is astonishing. From someone thoroughly traumatised following a car accident, and needing dental work, they were fantastic to me from beginning to end and I now have a lovely new crown. Doesn't perhaps sound like a 'biggie' but given my massive gag reflex, it meant the world to have the understanding and care offered by these lovely people. You have a new customer! Thanksread more

I hadnt been to the dentist for 35 years. I became determined and saw this practice on line as good for dealing with nervous patients. After the first visit as was so surprised at how lovely they all are, patient, caring and not rushed. After a couple of visits I had 2 teeth removed. Without sedation. I will be going back. They are amazing and I will continue to recommend them xread more

Exceptional Dentists. Had fair amount of work done by the team here over the years including a crown and a root canal and never once had any pain or discomfort. Staff are always friendly even if I do get told off for my lack of / poor flossing regime 😉 Highly recommended.
