Looking for dental crowns in central London? Covent Garden Dental Spa should be your only option.
A crown is a dental restoration in the form of a cap which encircles and completely covers a tooth. The cap is bonded to the tooth, and so takes the shape of the tooth, thus protecting the tooth and giving the tooth improved shape, size, colour and strength.

If you have a large cavity which is threatening the strength of your tooth, a filling will not provide adequate strength to the tooth, and so a crown would be advised.
The tooth has fractured due to trauma and there is not much sound tooth structure remaining, a crown would protect the remaining tooth structure.
The tooth has had a root filling, and thus needs to be protected to prevent future fracture and repeat infection.
For cosmetic reasons, a crown can be used to improve the appearance of your teeth.
If you have an implant, the implant is restored with a crown.
The tooth may need to be crowned in order to help with the retention of a denture.
You have experienced tooth surface loos due to erosion (acidic diet) or attrition (grinding or bruxism), the remaining tooth structure would need to be protected with a crown to prevent further erosion or attrition.
Two appointments will be needed to make your crown:
This is the appointment where the dentist makes the necessary reductions to the tooth which will have the crown. The missing tooth structure will be replaced with the restorative crown material. After the reduction is carried out, an impression or mould of the tooth is taken using a putty material. The impression is sent to the laboratory and the technician will make the crown based on the information he sees on the impression. The dentist will cover the tooth undergoing treatment with a temporary crown to protect the tooth while the crown is being made. The dentist will check what colour your teeth are to make sure the new crown matches the rest of your teeth.
This appointment is normally 2 weeks after the first appointment depending on how long the technician takes to make your crown. At this appointment, the dentist will remove the temporary crown and try in the permanent crown. If the crown has a good fit and you are happy with the look and feel of the crown, it will be cemented with resin cement. The dentist will ensure that you are able to clean the crown well, and that you are able to bite normally as before. Once in a while, repeat appointments are required to ensure a good fit.
They provide the tooth with more strength than any of the other alternatives such as veneers, composite bondings.
We usually say 10-15 years, but this is dependent on you maintaining good oral hygiene, and visiting the dentist regularly for check-ups and hygiene sessions.
Depending on the individual situation, one might be able to consider a veneer, composite bonding, inlays or onlays which are less invasive but will not necessarily provide the strength required.
