Dental Crowns in Croydon
Give your tooth a new look!
Dental Crowns—an Overview
Do you have multiple broken or damaged teeth? Do some of them hurt and are sensitive? If so, then dental crowns could be one of the best options to restore your smile both functionally and aesthetically. Dental crowns in Croydon are designed to fit seamlessly onto your teeth, blend with your other natural teeth, and provide a long-lasting solution to your oral health.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Sometimes cavities, minor fractures, wear and teeth, etc. damage teeth significantly. They cannot be restored by fillings alone. Dental crowns, commonly called ‘tooth caps,’ are custom-made tooth covers designed to cover and protect damaged or compromised teeth. They are made from durable and natural-looking materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal; they restore the tooth’s size, shape, and strength.
Do You Need Dental Crowns?
Here’s when you may need dental crowns:
- Decayed teeth: When a filling isn’t enough, crowns protect and restore teeth with large cavities.
- Cracked or broken teeth: They prevent further damage by holding and bonding the tooth together.
- Dental crowns after root canal: They strengthen treated teeth and shield them from future fractures.
- Cosmetic Enhancements: Dental crowns offer a natural and polished look for misshapen or discoloured teeth.
- Dental Implants: Crowns act as the visible, functional component of an implant, completing the restoration.
We regularly provide dental crowns to patients from Croydon, Addiscombe, Shirley, West Wickham, Thornton Heath, and Addington.
Types of Dental Crowns
At Smile 4 U, we offer different types of dental crowns, like:
Ceramic dental crowns: Typically used as dental crowns on the front teeth, they are made of ceramic and offer a natural look that blends seamlessly with your smile. They also come in different types—for example, Emax dental crowns and zirconia-based ceramic crowns.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) dental crowns: These dental crowns combine the strength of a metal base with the natural appearance of a porcelain cover. They are versatile and suitable for both front and back teeth.
Metal dental crown: Made from stainless steel, gold, palladium, nickel, or chromium alloys, these crowns are highly durable. They are traditionally used for the molars due to their strength and breakage resistance.
Stainless steel dental crowns: They are routinely used in kids to restore damaged molars; can be prefabricated crowns to protect primary teeth from damage.
Temporary dental crowns: Made from acrylic resins and used as an interim solution in smile makeovers.

What Our Patients Say
Frequently Asked
Questions
Find the answers to the most commonly asked questions regarding the treatment below:
Is getting a dental crown painful?
No. The dental crown procedure is carried out by numbing the gums with local anaesthesia, making it pain-free. If needed, sedation options are available for added comfort.
What happens if my crown feels loose?
Contact us right away for a quick assessment. A loose crown can usually be re-cemented; prompt action is required to prevent further damage.
How long do dental crowns last?
Dental crowns typically last between 10 and 15 years or longer with proper care. Regular dental check-ups and maintaining good oral hygiene can prolong the longevity of dental crowns.
