Dental Crowns in Gardens Dental Centre
Your teeth deserve a new look!
Dental Crowns—an Overview
Do you have several damaged teeth that need extensive dental fillings? Does your root canal-treated tooth feel a little sensitive? Whatever the context, a basic white tooth filling may not always be enough to restore the natural tooth’s strength. That’s when dental crowns in Gardens Dental Centre fit best. They are strong, durable, and are designed to fit perfectly onto your teeth and blend in with the colour of the other natural teeth.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns, commonly called ‘tooth caps,’ are custom-made tooth covers that are applied to the tooth with dental glue to protect damaged or compromised teeth. They are recommended for deep cavities, mild fractures, damaged teeth, and other dental issues. Dental crowns are constructed of long-lasting and natural-looking materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal, and they can restore the size, form, and strength of the teeth.
Do You Need Dental Crowns?
Here’s when you may need dental crowns:
- Decayed teeth: In the cases of large cavities, unsupported tooth fillings and severely damaged tooth crowns.
- Cracked or broken teeth: They can reinforce the broken segments.
- Dental crowns after root canal: Root canal-treated teeth are fragile, brittle, and prone to breakage–need added strength.
- Cosmetic Enhancements: If you require a natural-looking tooth replacement.
- Dental Implants: Implant crowns are the visual, functional component that completes the procedure.
We regularly provide consultations and dental crowns treatments to patients from Dulwich, Peckham, Dulwich Village, Brixton, Newlands, and Hono Oak.
Types of Dental Crowns
At Smile 4 U, we offer different types of dental crowns, like:
Ceramic dental crowns: High-strength dental ceramics are commonly used as dental crowns on the front teeth and the back teeth. They come in various colours and shades—and blend with your smile. There are various sorts, such as Emax dental crowns and zirconia-based ceramic crowns.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) dental crowns: These dental crowns combine the strength of metal with porcelain. They have a metal base and a ceramic cover; they are adaptable and may be used on both front and back teeth.
Metal dental crowns: They have traditionally been used for molars because of their strength and resistance to fracture and are typically made of stainless steel, gold, palladium, nickel, or chromium alloys.
Stainless steel dental crowns: Commonly called SS crowns, they are used on children’s milk teeth to replace damaged molars. These prefabricated crowns protect primary teeth from injury.
Temporary dental crowns: Very essential for multi-appointment long dental procedures—they are made of acrylic resins and glued on using temporary dental adhesives.

How long do dental crowns last?
Dental crowns can last 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care. Dental crowns can last longer with regular dental checkups and excellent oral hygiene.
The Treatment Process
Every patient’s experience is unique, but this is what you can expect when you start treatment with the Smile 4 U Dental Practice.
Consultation
We evaluate your tooth health to determine whether a dental crown is the best option for you and then develop a personalised treatment plan for dental crown preparation.
Treatment
After numbing the gums to make the procedure painless, we take digital scans or moulds of the teeth and send them to a dental lab to get the crowns made. You will soon have a temporary crown placed.
Final fitting and review
We use a strong dental adhesive to permanently attach the crown to the tooth. We double-check its fit to ensure comfort and longevity.
