Dental Crowns in London

We are experienced dentists in making dental crowns in London to recover your teeth from decayed, damaged or injured tooth, dental crowns look great and last for a very long time.

What are Dental Crowns?

 A crown is custom made precision cemented over the implant or tooth to cover it completely. Traditionally, crowns have been described as metal or ceramic that is fused to the metal. The latest technology in dentistry uses materials like Zirconium that is extremely strong and durable, which eliminates the need for a metal sub-structure for the crown. These crowns are the highest standard in offering you the ultimate aesthetic result.

How Do Crowns Work?

A crown is used to cover or “cap” a damaged tooth completely. Other than strengthening a damaged tooth, a crown may be used to improve its shape, alignment or appearance. A crown can even be placed on the top of an implant to provide a tooth-like shape and structure for proper functioning. Ceramic or porcelain crowns can be matched with the colour of natural teeth. Other materials include metal alloys, acrylic, ceramic and gold. These alloys are stronger than porcelain and suggested for the back teeth. Porcelain bonded to a metal shell is often used as it is durable and attractive.

Why are Dental Crowns used?

Crowns can be used for the following reasons:

• Perform root canal therapy
• Severe tooth surface loss
• Heavily restored
• Improper aesthetic appearance
• Replace existing crowns due to bad appearance
• Protect restored teeth from breakage
• Restore broken tooth and prevent further breakage

 Types of dental crowns

 All Ceramic Crown

All ceramic crowns do not have grey metal inside. They are usually used for your visible front teeth. If the gum recedes over time, then there won’t be any grey metal margin on show. At Museum Dental suites, we provide ceramic crowns in London.

Metal Ceramic Crown

These crowns consist of a metal core on the inside and porcelain bonded to the outside. However, the thin porcelain layer may fracture more easily than other crowns. Metal Ceramic crowns can be used on the back teeth.

Gold Crowns

These crowns are the strongest and used for the back teeth. Gold crowns need minimal tooth reduction.

Porcelain bonded crowns

Porcelain bonded crowns are made from a metal layer beneath porcelain layered over the metal. They are mainly used for the anterior and posterior teeth, however crowns made from the combination of metal fused to porcelain, may start showing dark shadow on the margin closest to the gum over time.

Procedure of Placing a Dental Crown

When placing a crown, your dentist will start by removing a damaged or decayed tooth. An impression of the tooth is taken and then sent to the laboratory to be manufactured. Finally, a temporary filling will be put in its place.

During following visit to your dentist, the temporary filling gets removed and the permanent crown is fixed into place with resin cement in order to bond the dental crown to your tooth. The dentist makes slight adjustments to ensure that it fits properly and does not affect the way you bite or chew.
