Dental Crowns in Fraserburgh
Protect, restore, and smile again!
Dental Crowns
Do you have broken, worn, or sensitive teeth? Dental crowns at Fraserburgh Dental Care could be the ideal solution. These custom-made caps restore damaged teeth by covering them completely, offering protection, strength, and a natural look. They’re crafted to match your existing teeth, making them both functional and aesthetically pleasing, helping you chew better and smile more confidently.
Your Treatment Explained
When a tooth is too damaged for a filling — due to cavities, fractures, or wear — tooth caps may be the best solution. Also known as dental crowns, these custom-made covers are crafted from strong, natural-looking materials, such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal. They fit securely over the tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance with long-lasting results.
Exploring Your Treatment Options
At Fraserburgh Dental Care, we provide a range of dental crown treatments tailored to different needs:
- Ceramic dental crowns: Ideal for restoring front teeth, ceramic crowns offer excellent aesthetics and a natural finish. Popular options include Emax crowns and zirconia-based ceramic crowns, both known for strength and translucency.
- Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns: These crowns combine a durable metal core with a porcelain exterior, offering strength and a tooth-like appearance. They’re well-suited for both front and back teeth.
- Metal dental crowns: Made from materials like gold, palladium, nickel, or chromium alloys, metal crowns are extremely strong and long-lasting. They’re often recommended for molars where durability matters most.
- Stainless steel dental crowns: Commonly used in children’s dentistry, these prefabricated crowns protect decayed or damaged primary teeth until they naturally fall out.
- Temporary dental crowns: Crafted from acrylic or composite resin, temporary crowns are used as short-term restorations during treatments like smile makeovers or complex procedures.
The Right Candidate
Dental crowns are most suitable when a tooth is too damaged or weak for a filling. They’re ideal for restoring decayed teeth with large cavities, reinforcing cracked or broken teeth, and protecting root canal-treated teeth from future fractures. Crowns also enhance the appearance of discoloured or misshapen teeth and serve as the visible, functional part of a dental implant, providing both strength and a natural-looking finish.
Fraserburgh Dental Care welcomes patients from Fraserburgh and nearby areas, including Peterhead, Mintlaw, Banff, Strichen, Turriff, Ellon, Stuartfield, New Deer, Rosehearty, Inverallochy, and New Pitsligo.

Frequently Asked Questions
Take a look at the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about this treatment below:
Is the dental crown procedure painful?
Not at all. The area is numbed with local anaesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure.
What should I do if my crown feels loose?
Get in touch with us as soon as possible. A loose crown can often be reattached, but acting quickly helps prevent potential complications or further damage to the tooth.
How long will my dental crown last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, crowns can last 10 to 15 years, or even longer. Brushing, flossing, and avoiding habits like grinding or biting hard foods help extend their lifespan.
The Treatment Journey

Other Treatments We Offer
Root Canal Treatment
While a simple filling can often resolve broken or decayed teeth, sometimes, when the problem has reached the pulp or nerve of the tooth, root canal treatment is necessary.
First, we will remove the damaged or infected nerve before cleansing and shaping the inner canal to prevent reinfection and then sealing fully. Once the endodontic treatment has been carried out a crown, usually gold or porcelain, may be used to cover a tooth that has a large opening after root canal therapy.
Dental Hygiene
Our experienced hygienists have a keen focus on providing first class dental hygiene to keep your teeth and gums healthy and gum disease free.
We believe that prevention is key and we will work with you to help formulate a customised oral hygiene plan to suit your mouth and lifestyle. We recommend that all of our patients attend regular hygiene appointments and dental checkups to keep their smiles healthy.
Teeth Whitening
Your smile is important. It’s one of the first things you notice when you meet someone. A whiter, brighter smile is beautiful – it can help you feel better about yourself and make a memorable impression.
Your lifestyle and the aging process can stain and darken your teeth. Many things we do on a regular basis can contribute to stained teeth, such as drinking coffee, tea, cola and red wine or smoking.
Dentures
Dentures are a removable option for replacing missing teeth. They can be particularly useful when there is extensive loss of bone support or when multiple teeth are missing. In addition to tooth replacement, dentures can also give support and structure to soft tissues of the cheek and lips, while restoring dental form and function. Our skilled dental technicians will construct the dentures in the laboratory based on our prescription.
