What Is A Dental Crown?

Dental crowns are used to protect teeth, in instances when they have been cracked or fractured, badly decayed, or even damaged from trauma.

A dental crown is usually made from porcelain, is extremely strong and gives a natural tooth appearance.

Once placed it will protect the tooth from further decay and damage.

Dental crowns can last you years providing you show them the same level of care you would your own teeth.

It is advised that good hygiene is maintained at home, and regular dental and hygiene appointments are made in order to ensure the longevity of the crowns.

When is a dental crown used?

A dental crown is used to restore chipped or repair broken teeth.

A dental crown can be used when:

A titanium dental implant is placed and a crown is needed to complete the treatment

After root canal treatment to protect the tooth

A tooth is badly decayed and there is not enough tooth structure present

The tooth has worn away and needs protecting

A large filling is present and needs strengthening

What Does The Treatment Involve?

Free Consultation

After the initial consultation with your dentist, the tooth is prepared for crowning.

Treatment

First the tooth is cleaned and reshaped (usually tapered) to allow the crown to sit over the top of it.

Once the tooth is prepared, an impression of the tooth is taken and the crown (usually made from porcelain or metal) is built in a laboratory to precisely fit your tooth.

Finally

As it usually takes a few weeks for the crown to be made, a temporary crown is used to protect the prepared tooth in the meantime.

After the custom made crown arrives, your next visit involves the temporary crown being removed and the new one being fixed firmly in place with bonding material.

How Much Does A Dental Crown Cost?

The cost of a dental crown depends on each individual treatment. Our crowns range from £850/£950/£1,050 per tooth.

We offer 0% APR and interest bearing finance to help spread the cost of the treatment. More information is available in our fee guide here.

Absolutely thrilled with the results of my composite bonding! Finally I can show off my smile again 😃 Thanks so much to Sonam and Zeyneb who were wonderful and lovely as always and kept me comfortable throughout the procedure!

Millaina Kemp

Such lovely staff, they always make sure I feel looked after! Dr Bikram Narang was so helpful and really listened to my concerns. I felt heard and fully supported. I wish I had gone to Reading Smiles sooner! Thank you ☺️

Shaquiran Harvey

great experience at the dentistry. very professional staff at reception. Dr Dhillon and Zeyneb were very professional when getting fillings and has improved myself a lot since having them. Definitely recommend 👍

Chris Mufx

Had a hygiene appointment followed by three fillings. Treatment carried out quickly and with precision. Injections for local anaesthetic were administered so smoothly that they weren't noticeable at all. Dr Bikram maintained a calm, steady approach throughout, avoiding any unnecessary discomfort or stress. The entire process was straightforward and controlled. Strong recommendation for Dr Bikram. 10/10

after 20 years of anxiety with dentist i went for 2 wisdom teeth removal these people have put my faith back in to dentist so friendly comforting and took time to make me feel at ease and relaxed what more can i say so amazed …

I recently contacted this clinic with an urgent dental issue, as I had broken a tooth and needed advice while I was away from Reading. I booked an appointment online in advance, but unfortunately had to cancel it due to personal reasons, as I decided to see a dentist in another city rather than wait until I returned.

Even though I didn’t make it to the appointment, my experience with the clinic was truly excellent. The team listened to me carefully, and the reception staff were exceptionally attentive and kind. They immediately informed me that the amount charged to my account would be refunded without any problem, and later confirmed it in writing. Their communication was clear, supportive and very reassuring.

My first impression is genuinely very positive. If I ever need dental care in Reading again, I will definitely come back to this clinic — without hesitation

I recently completed my Invisalign treatment at Reading Smiles with Dr. Francisco, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, everything was extremely professional, clear, and well-organized.
Dr. Francisco guided me through every step of the process with great care and expertise, always making sure I felt comfortable and informed. The team is friendly, welcoming, and truly dedicated to their patients.

My results are amazing, and I’m genuinely satisfied with the whole treatment. I highly recommend Reading Smiles to anyone considering Invisalign or dental care in general!

Rahul

Always puts their patient first 🥇

MissLynnyBee

I would def recommend Smiles Reading. Henal and his team are all so friendly, reassuring and professional. I had Invisalign braces top and bottom for exactly 12 months and the result is amazing. Thank you for everything guys.

Thomas Chandler

I'd like to say a massive thank you to Sonam and Shuha for the fantastic composite bonding treatment and care I've recieved over the past 3 months. From the reception staff to the dental pratitioners, everyone at Reading Smiles is so friendly and they make you feel welcome and at ease.

After decades of coffee stains and tooth grinding, my teeth were starting to look a little worn and tired at 33 and I was looking to freshen things up. I initially popped along for a general dental checkup and following good experiences with a black filling replacement and clean and polish, decided to go ahead with further cosmetic work.

Everything was well explained during my consultation in terms of what to expect. Following at home Boutique whitening treatment, I was already much happier with how my smile looked, to the point I was considering only having a few of the front teeth bonded instead. Sonam advised that as I have a wide smile, it was recommended to proceed as planned in order to achieve the most natural and uniform look. I'm glad I took his advice because I can see now it made all the difference – the professionals know what they're on about!

I wanted a natural bonding result – a smile that still looked like "me", and Sonam absolutely nailed it. All the charateristics of my smile are still there, which was really important to me, but the density is back along with a bright but realistic shade of white. They look so real and natural.

If anyone is considering the same treatment, I can highly recommend the Reading Smiles team. Re. the at home whitening, expect some sensitivity during the treatment period – I was informed of this and, as advertised, this completely subsided within a week of completion. Re. the composite bonding, give your mouth a few weeks post-treatment to adjust to the changes. In my experience, what feels like a big change initially looks and feels entirely natural after a few weeks! The bonding procedure itself is so relaxed and pain-free I could have had a nap in the chair.

I'm over the moon with the end result. Thanks so much!

Tiffany Gomes

Had the best Invisalign experience at Reading Smile. Dr. Hanel is the best. He is extremely knowledgeable, meticulous and takes immense pride in his work. The level of care and detail he put into my teeth is truly reflected in my new smile. He is absolutely amazing, I could not imagine going to anyone else. I am extremely happy with my results and so grateful to Dr. Hanel for putting so much care and effort into making sure I got the best results.

Sian Powell

The BEST dentist I have ever been to! Such friendly staff, especially Dr Hanel & Lauren. I actually look forward to going to the dentist, not very many people can say that :)

Val

I liked the service from Hanel so much that, even after he moved from the local area to start this practice, I went with him. Somehow, his ethos has been applied to the whole practice.

I'm a fairly anxious guy, and I think I've been going to this dentist for around 10 years now. <3

I would recommend them. As a dentist, and even as a comfy place that somehow still manages to make you comfortable the whole time even during a pandemic.

Rafal

I went to Reading smiles to straighten my teeths which were in really bad shape. I been told it could take up to 3 years but everything has been completed in about 18 months. I was never able to smile or had to cover my mouth while smiling because of the bad teeths. Now I can smile without covering my mouth. Life changing experience. I visited 3 clinics prior to treatment and I think I made the best choice to start treatment and Reading smiles. Highly appreciate dr. Hanel knowledge as well as all staff working at Reading smiles. They are very nice, polite and helpful. It is also great that I was able to spread the payments without any interest. I just can't recommend highly enough. 12/10 !

I would never go anywhere else for any work on my teeths.

Kwame

My experience with Reading Smiles has always been excellent. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming.

I called on 28/10/2025 to book an appointment and spoke with Marwa, who was extremely lovely and helpful. Her customer service was outstanding — she went above and beyond to assist me.

As a whole, Reading Smiles is a fantastic business, and Marwa’s professionalism and kindness truly deserve recognition.

Ilya Perelman

Dr Krupesh Patel is a very good doctor and most importantly he is very understanding and concious of client's being comfortable!

Jesloy Pereira

Went in for a hygiene appointment, Dr Philo was great, teeth feel and look better after the appointment. Would recommend if you are looking for a deep clean!

Chris Glover

From my first visit at reception to my treatments with Dr Bikram and Shristi I have been endlessly impressed. Their professionalism, care and patience is exceptional and I couldn’t be happier with my new smile. Highly recommend!

Rafael Paredes

I’ve been here twice for a regular exam and a hygienist appointment. Very professionals and kind. Will definitely go back.

Victoria Gower

After a few consultations with other dentists and lots of recommendations from people I found Reading Smiles ! The treatment I received was amazing , putting my anxieties at ease .
I had Invisalign some bonding and teeth whitening and now have the perfect smile thanks to Dr phillon, zeyneb and shuha…. I cannot thank them enough

DLPZ

I’ve been coming to Reading Smiles since I moved to Reading eight years ago, but it was only a couple of years ago that I decided to truly invest in my smile by starting Invisalign and replacing a tooth implant that had been twisting my smile since 2011.

Dr. Amorin took wonderful care of my Invisalign treatment, and Dr. Yusuf handled my implant. In both cases, the attention to detail and level of care were absolutely outstanding. I was especially impressed with the implant surgery—I expected it to be painful and uncomfortable, but it was nothing like that at all! I couldn’t have imagined a better experience, and my only regret is not doing it sooner.

The entire team at Reading Smiles is incredible—Mario and all the lovely ladies at reception, the amazing nurses, and of course the doctors. They are always kind, professional, and truly dedicated to creating real, confident smiles.

Thank you all so much, you’ve made such a difference! 💛

And yes… this is me showing off my new smile on my last holiday! 😄🦷✨

Very pleased with Dr Nigel's treatment for my extractions and denture fitting.
Much time and trouble has been taken over the whole procedure. From planning to completion. Thank you so much Dr Nigel for your expertise, and all the team that helped overcome the difficulties that I faced.

Kevin O'Neill

Visiting Reading Smiles has always been a positive experience for me.. always a clean/sterile welcoming environment with all the staff members being very helpful. My last visit with Nigel Cheung was very informative when he spent his time showing me my x-ray results and answering any questions I had in great detail it was assuring when he was explaining what they look out for on the x-ray when there are some defects to ensure everything is in good order. My visits so far were with Daniela, Eniko Uveges, Tharuka, and again they were all very helpful and informative during my visits. Thank you!

Galstaf

These wonderful people helped me get over a lifetime of bad experiences and removed the biggest weight from my shoulders. Patient, caring, exceptionally skilled, gentle, understood the mental condition as well as the physical and were totally up to the challenge. Every single member of this practice is capable, helpful and dedicated, thank you all.

Adam Renshaw

I had a great experience with Invisalign. The team are super friendly and what was quite a big procedure felt super straight forward and easy – and delighted with the results, thank you!

Olivia Law

I had an amazing experience with Reading Smiles for my Invisalign. Dr Krupesh and Corrie were incredible, no problem was too big for them to sort out and their response time was super fast. Thank you Krupesh for my (now) lovely teeth !!!

Viktoriya

I first came across Reading Smiles about five years ago, back in 2020, when I had some dental issues and started exploring the idea of Invisalign treatment. I’m so glad I finally decided to go ahead with it about a year and a half ago.

Throughout my journey, I’ve worked closely with Dr. Ismael Khan, who supported me every step of the way. He always took the time to answer my questions, share helpful tips, and make sure each stage of the treatment was as pleasant as possible. My treatment was then completed by Dr. Hanel Nathwani, who did an incredible job in such a short time. Since I needed a bit more work, we transitioned to more stable braces, and thanks to his expertise, I’ve now achieved the smile we were aiming for — and even better than I expected.

The customer service at Reading Smiles has been outstanding from start to finish. Whether at reception, with a general dentist, or a cosmetic specialist, every single member of the team is warm, attentive, and professional. They really pay attention to detail, ask the right questions, and take a personal approach that makes you feel well looked after. I also appreciated the regular updates by email, phone calls, and calendar reminders — as a busy individual, that structure made all the difference.

Thanks to the whole team at Reading Smiles, people are noticing my new smile and I feel more confident than ever. Massive thank you to everyone involved — I couldn’t be happier with the experience and results.

Taiya Brooks

Honestly if you’re nervous/anxious or want someone who is patient and knows their stuff – I can’t recommend Dr Johana more , she’s amazing and makes you feel very at ease. All staff who work there are also very kind and the place is beautifully decorated and clean. 100/10 recommend.

Aaron Feldmann

I had an amazing experience with Dr Johana, she was incredibly accommodating and so patient with me. She did an excellent job, couldn’t recommend more!

Kaden Stevens

Great place

Jak Blakey

Great experience from Dr Dhillon & Nurse Zeyneb! Highly recommend

Stella Tran

Dr Bikram very good i very happy with my new teeth very nice

Daria Górska

I had a great experience at Reading Smiles. They saw me very quickly on an emergency appointment, and from the moment I walked in I felt very well looked after. The whole place feels professional and even a bit exclusive. Everyone I met was extremely kind – Mario at reception was lovely, and the dentist (I’m sorry I don’t remember his name) was also super friendly and reassuring. I left feeling confident that everything will be fine, and I’m really happy with the care I received.

Danila Cossu

I had a fantastic experience with Dr Francisco Amorim. He is extremely professional, caring, and very delicate in his work. He took the time to explain every detail clearly, which made me feel completely at ease throughout the treatment. I truly appreciated his gentle approach – I didn’t feel any pain at all. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dentist who combines expertise with genuine care. would do. I also want to thank Mario, who is always available to listen and recommend the best for me. Great Team!!

Paniz K

I had a fantastic experience with my dentist Dr Sonam Sherpa, for my composite bonding. The results were exceptional, and the entire staff were both professional and gracious. I highly recommend their services! Big thank you again!

Elizabeth Cox

A caring and sensitive team that go above and beyond to make sure as a nervous patient I was ok in all aspects of the treatment. I was not rushed and given plenty of time at all stages of the treatment. I was supported to make decisions and given time to decide on treatment plans.
I would highly recommend.

Shannon Kiely

I had composite bonding done on Friday with Dr Yousif and I couldn’t be happier! The whole staff at Reading smiles are amazing from the moment you walk through the door you will receive the best service!
I was conscious of a very pointy canine which caused a slight gap and wanted all round more even teeth. Dr Yousif understood my concerns exactly and gave me just what I wanted, composite on top 10 with a really nice natural shade of white, nothing too over the top. Would recommend Dr Yousif and Reading smiles to anyone looking to get composite bonding!

Kaylum Barlow

What an amazing dentistry , everyone there was so helpful and friendly , I can’t thank you all enough! Especially dr Krupesh who’s changed my life and got me smiling again after years. Would definitely recommend them to anyone , thank you guys again😁😁

Kai Saint-Woolf

I think this practice offer is really good value for money in a city centre location. I found the staff very welcoming the teeth polish and scrub was amazing because strangely enough I like to go to Hygenist every three months so for £75 you can’t get a better service, thank you, ladies.

Ish

Marwa was very friendly and helpful with getting me seen asap for bad tooth pain and Johana was also super friendly and a great dentist

farshid

Everything was great. Wonderful staff. Great environment. Great job

soraia santos

The nicest customer service ever! Everyone is absolutely lovely and so welcoming. I used to absolutely hate going to the dentist and I never thought the day would come when I don’t dread going to the dentist! I never thought it could ever be an enjoyable experience. However I have been going to Reading Smiles a couple years now and I love it! I always see Dr Francisco Amorim and he is such a great dentist! So welcoming, nice and most importantly gentle! Thank you so much Reading Smiles!

Yolanta Pullen

Recently had denture on Implants surgery carried out by Dr Yusef Alshafi, who I found to be very professional, informative, caring and considerate. The surgery is expensive but the results are amazing. Thank you Yusef. The whole team are very welcoming, proffesional and friendly and a big thanks to Anna who always made me a coffee on arrival. 😊😊Highly recommend Smiles

Cindy Lai

I had an excellent experience with Revu during my recent dental hygiene appointment. Her skill in managing the suction to remove water from my mouth was outstanding—she worked efficiently and comfortably, ensuring I didn’t experience any discomfort

Bifolco Matty

I have recently visited Reading smiles and the experience was amazing. From the moment I walked in to the moment I left I felt very well looked after. Thank you reading smiles team

Simon Carn

Having been to a few different dental practices, Reading smiles is hands down the best I’ve been. The reception staff, nursing staff and dentists all make a big effort to make you feel welcome and comfortable.
