Dental Crowns

Dental Crowns Lewisham – Greenwich – Blackheath

A crown is the part of your teeth you can see in your mouth, and when it’s broken or damaged an artificial crown can completely cover it above the gum line and protect it.

A crown is the visible part of your tooth above the gum line. When a tooth becomes cracked, weakened, heavily filled, or damaged, it may no longer be strong enough to function comfortably on its own. In these cases, a dental crown can be used to gently cover and protect the tooth, restoring both its strength and appearance.

A crown fits over the tooth like a protective cap, helping to prevent further damage while allowing you to chew, speak, and smile with confidence again. The aim is not just to repair the tooth, but to preserve it for the long term.

At Smile Up Dental, all crowns are custom made to suit you. They are crafted from high-quality materials such as dental porcelain or metal, depending on what is most appropriate for your tooth and bite. Porcelain crowns are carefully colour-matched to your natural teeth so they blend seamlessly into your smile, both in appearance and in the way they feel.

Creating a crown is a precise and considered process. From the shape and contours to the fine details of translucency and polish, every element is designed to look and feel as natural as possible. Dental crowns are truly a combination of advanced dental technology and skilled craftsmanship.

We understand that dental treatment can feel daunting for some patients, which is why we take a calm, unhurried approach. We’ll talk you through each step, answer any questions you have, and ensure you feel comfortable throughout your treatment. Our focus is always on gentle care, clear communication, and results that feel right for you.

If a crown has been recommended, we’ll take the time to explain why, discuss your options, and help you make a decision that supports your long-term dental health.

 

What’s So Good About Dental Crowns?

  • Well made crowns are strong and look and feel like natural teeth.
  • The colour and shape can be matched to your own teeth.
  • They can last for many years if looked after.
  • They are actually beautifully crafted works of art.

What to Expect

We’ll need to establish how damaged your tooth is and whether it can be built up with a filling first. It’s possible that your tooth might also need to be root-filled — this is sometimes called ‘removing the nerve’, and we’ll then reshape the original crown of your tooth so that when the artificial crown is added the whole structure will be the perfect size.

We use a soft malleable material to make moulds of the tooth that’s going to be crowned and of nearby teeth, and our dental technicians use these moulds to craft a beautiful, natural looking crown of exactly the right size, shape and colour to match your existing teeth.

In the meantime, while the crown is being made, we’ll give you a temporary crown which you can chew with, but it won’t be as strong as the finished one. When the final crown is fitted we’ll make small adjustments to make sure you can bite comfortably.

If you’d like to make an appointment you can do it here or give us a ring on 020 4634 1799.
