Specialist dental treatments provided by qualified clinicians, with treatment plans tailored to individual needs and delivered using established clinical techniques where appropriate.
Dental crowns
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that sit over damaged or weakened teeth to restore their shape, strength and function.
About dental crowns
Dental crowns are often recommended for teeth that have large fillings, are damaged or weakened, or following root canal treatment. They can also be used to improve the appearance of discoloured or misshapen teeth. Treatment is usually completed over two appointments. During the first visit, the tooth is prepared and a digital scan or impression is taken before a temporary crown is fitted. At the second appointment, your custom-made crown is securely bonded in place. Made from durable, natural-looking materials, crowns are designed to protect and strengthen your tooth while supporting a healthy smile.

Benefits of dental crowns
- Dental crowns reinforce weakened or damaged teeth and help protect the remaining tooth structure from further damage
- Dental crowns are carefully colour-matched to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, improving the appearance of discoloured, worn or misshapen teeth
- With good dental hygiene and regular dental health check-ups, dental crowns can last between five and 15 years

I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results! From my very first appointment, Dr Prabhat Gurung made me feel completely at ease, explaining every step of the treatment and making sure I was comfortable throughout. A special thank you also to the dental nurse, Olivia Dale who was incredibly kind, friendly and reassuring. She helped me feel relaxed at every visit and was such an important part of the whole experience. The attention to detail and level of skill are outstanding. My teeth look completely natural, and I finally have the smile I’ve always wanted. I can’t stop smiling, and my confidence has grown so much. Everyone at Durham Smile Clinic has been welcoming, caring and professional. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr Prabhat Gurung and the whole team to anyone looking for exceptional dental care. Thank you all so much!

Another nervous patient here but I cannot thank Mel and the others enough for making me feel so at ease today!! I’m neurodivergent and very anxious - this was no trouble at all and it was so nice not feeling like a burden. Mel talked me through everything, was so so patient with me, understood what I needed and met me where I was instead of pushing me; after bad experiences in the past I feel so much better after today!

Brilliant! Dr Roshan and team were so attentive and listened to all my (complex) needs. He gave me loads of information and advice. He really took his time and I didn't feel rushed at all. Best dentist experience I've ever had.
