Get Dental Crowns In Battersea

A full dental crown or cap covers the entire tooth and will restore a broken, heavily filled or cracked tooth to its original size, shape and tooth colour. The materials that are used to create dental crowns are substantially stronger than fillings and therefore less likely to break.

What are dental crowns?

Dental crowns, or caps, are custom-made restorations that cover and protect damaged, decayed, or weakened teeth. They restore a tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance while reinforcing long-term oral health. Crowns are ideal for teeth with extensive fillings, fractures, or after a root canal treatment, offering both functional and cosmetic benefits.

Dental crowns come in various materials, each with unique advantages. The best choice depends on factors like durability, aesthetics, and budget. Understanding these options helps in making informed decisions about dental care.

Why Choose a dental crown?

A dental crown is an excellent solution for restoring both function and aesthetics to a damaged tooth. Whether due to decay, trauma, or wear, a crown can help preserve your natural tooth while improving your smile.

  • Restores tooth strength and function

  • Improves the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth

  • Protects weak or cracked teeth from further damage

  • Supports teeth with large fillings or after root canal treatment

  • Long-lasting and durable solution for oral health

 

Types of dental crowns

There are several types of dental crowns, each with its own benefits:

  • Porcelain Dental Crowns – These crowns closely resemble natural teeth, making them a popular choice for front teeth. They provide excellent aesthetics but may not be as strong as other materials for back teeth.

  • Emax Dental Crowns – Made from lithium disilicate, these crowns offer superior aesthetics and strength. They are highly durable and resistant to fractures, making them a preferred option for both front and back teeth.

  • Zirconia Dental Crowns – Known for their extreme strength, zirconia crowns are highly resistant to chipping and wear. They are particularly suitable for molars and patients with a strong bite.

  • Stainless Steel Dental Crowns – Often used as a temporary solution or for pediatric dentistry, these crowns provide quick and cost-effective protection for teeth needing restoration.

  • Gold Dental Crowns – Highly durable and resistant to wear, gold crowns are ideal for molars due to their strength. While they don’t match natural tooth color, they are long-lasting and require less removal of tooth structure.

Choosing the right type of crown depends on factors such as the location of the tooth, aesthetic preferences, and budget. Your dentist will help you decide on the best material for your specific needs.

How are dental crowns fitted?

Getting a dental crown is a straightforward process with several key steps:

  1. Initial Consultation & Examination

    • The dentist assesses the tooth and may take X-rays.

    • Discussion of treatment options and material selection.

  2. Tooth Preparation

    • A thin layer of enamel is removed to fit the crown.

    • If necessary, a filling builds up the tooth structure.

  3. Impression Taking

    • A digital scan or mold ensures a precise fit.

    • Temporary crowns may be placed while the permanent one is made.

  4. Crown Fabrication

    • The crown is crafted in a dental lab or produced same-day using CEREC technology.

  5. Fitting & Cementing the Crown

    • The dentist checks for fit, color, and bite alignment.

    • The crown is permanently secured for a comfortable, long-lasting result.

How to take care of your crowns?

Dental crowns require the same level of care and attention as your natural teeth.

  • Brush your teeth after each meal and before bedtime, especially at the gum line.
  • Floss at least once or twice a day.
  • Rinse with fluoride rinse before bedtime.
  • Visit your dentist for annual check-up
 

The life of a crown will depend on how well it is looked after. The crown itself cannot decay, but decay can start where the edge of the crown joins the tooth. It is very important to keep this area as clean as your other teeth, or decay may occur which could endanger the crown.

Crowns (or bridges) can also be placed onto implant abutments as a restoration.
