What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged, weakened, or unsightly tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Think of it as a protective helmet for your tooth.
Crowns are one of the most common restorative dental treatments. They're used when a tooth is too damaged for a filling but can still be saved from extraction. The crown covers the entire visible portion of the tooth above the gumline, providing a durable, natural-looking restoration.
Modern dental crowns in London are crafted from advanced materials like porcelain, zirconia, and ceramics that mimic the translucency and colour of natural enamel. When done well, a crown is virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth, and no one will know you have one.
When Do You Need a Dental Crown?
Crowns solve a variety of dental problems. Here are the most common reasons patients need them.
Large filling or cavity
When over 50% of the tooth is filling, a crown provides better protection and longevity than replacing the filling again.
After root canal treatment
Root-treated teeth become brittle. A crown prevents fracture and extends the tooth's life significantly.
Cracked or fractured tooth
A crown holds the tooth together, preventing the crack from spreading and saving the tooth from extraction.
Worn down teeth
From grinding (bruxism) or acid erosion. Crowns restore proper height and protect remaining structure.
Cosmetic transformation
Change the shape, size, or colour of a tooth for a more beautiful smile.
Support a dental bridge
Crowns on adjacent teeth anchor a bridge to replace missing teeth.
Cover a dental implant
The crown is the visible part of an implant, restoring function and aesthetics.
Severely discoloured teeth
When whitening will not give the desired result (for example with some tetracycline staining or darkly discoloured teeth), crowns can offer a long term cosmetic solution.
