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 Temple Square Dental dentist or dental hygienist will recommend an appropriate home care regime.

I felt valued and felt like an individual. I didn’t feel like I was a hassle at any point despite being phobic and I also appreciated that I wasn’t pushed to proceed with any treatment - I really do feel that I can take things at my own pace and I have complete trust in the clinicians

The dentist. Aaron, if it was not for him I doubt we would attend. He is so caring and informative. I was also particularly impressed with the receptionist on our visit, she was extremely kind to an elderly gentleman who needed a little more assistance. It was lovely to see.

Dentist is extremely thorough and makes time to listen to anything you have to say and gives good advice without feeling pressured in a pleasant and welcoming manner. Would recommend .

Absolutely positive and best experience I ever had with a dental surgery. During February/March I travelled the UK and - Murphy‘s law - suffered dental problems 1) during my travels, 2) even worse on a Friday and 3) while needing to leave Aylesbury on Saturday for my next destination. Thanks to the supernice and friendly reception staff I got an immediate appointment on a Saturday! Not only was I happy to get help, even better was my experience with dentist Dr. Prab Sandhu: fast help and examination, very experienced and trustworthy, takes time to explain (no stress on the patient), straightforward, clear and friendly communication, calm atmosphere. Overall summary: + I felt welcome as new patient without an appointment + uncomplicated digital administration processes around registration, invoicing, payment, xrays, diagnostic report + little waiting time + trustworthy, experienced and friendly dentist + friendly staff + pleasant medical practice rooms There is one minus I indeed consider very negative: - They do not operate a medical practice in my home country Germany ;-) Thanks and best regards from Germany
