Dental Crowns in Kidbrooke Village
Make damaged teeth stronger!
Dental Crowns—an Overview
Do you need multiple extensive tooth fillings? Or do you have a few fractured teeth that require some intervention? Perhaps your tooth is sore after undergoing that root canal treatment. Whatever it is, standard fillings may not be sufficient to restore weak teeth. What you require are well-fitted, custom-designed, and long-lasting dental crowns in Smile 4 U – Kidbrooke Village that completely match the natural colour and shape of your teeth.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns, commonly called ‘tooth caps,’ are custom-made tooth covers that are attached to damaged or weak teeth to protect them. If you have deep cavities, minor tooth fractures, damaged teeth, or other dental issues, dental crowns offer a durable and affordable solution. They are tailor-made from high-strength dental materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal, are long-lasting, and resemble natural teeth.
Do You Need Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns may be needed in case of:
- Decayed teeth: In the cases of extensive cavities, unsupported dental fillings, and severely damaged tooth crowns.
- Cracked or broken teeth: To strengthen the damaged areas of the tooth.
- Dental crowns after root canal: Root canal-treated teeth are fragile, brittle, and prone to breaking; they require extra support.
- Cosmetic Enhancements: If you require a natural-looking tooth replacement.
- Dental Implants: Implant procedures are completed with implant crowns, which are both visible and functional.
We regularly provide dental crowns treatments to patients from SE3, Kidbrooke Village, Eltham, Greenwich, Blackheath, Lewisham, Sidcup, Woolwich and Bexleyheath.
Types of Dental Crowns
At Smile 4 U, we offer different types of dental crowns, like:
Ceramic dental crowns: Made of high-strength dental ceramics, these dental crowns on the front teeth and the back teeth are custom-fitted to match the natural tooth colour. There are several types, including Emax and zirconia.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) dental crowns: These crowns, with a metal foundation and a ceramic cover, combine the greatest features of both materials and can be used on both front and back teeth.
Metal dental crowns: They’re typically made of alloys such as stainless steel, gold, palladium, nickel, or chromium and are used on molars due to their strength and fracture resistance.
Stainless steel dental crowns: Commonly called SS crowns, they are used to replace fractured molars in children’s milk teeth. These prefabricated crowns protect newborn teeth.
Temporary dental crowns: They are extremely useful for extensive dental procedures that require more than one visit. They’re manufactured of acrylic resin and bonded on with temporary dental adhesives.

What Our Patients Say
Fantastic practice. Lovely dentist but the hygienist is absolutely brilliant! Having sensitive teeth, i advised her I was sensitive to hot and cold water. She used warm water to clean my teeth and I left with a big fat smile on my face. I already booked my next appointment!
Karen is absolutely lovely. She is fabulous at her job. Great on the phone and certainly makes you feel welcome.
They would be lost without her.
Cheers Karen

Mr Pourezza always quick to see you and get it done efficiently.
Thank you 🙂
I had an emergency dental crisis. I’ve never been to this clinic before as my Dentist is in London Bridge. I live in Kidbrooke Village and this is local to me, and since it was an emergency and everywhere I had called were fully booked, I had no other choice but to give it a go. I’m so glad I did. The dentist is so lovely, and he did a stellar job! It was pain-free and completed within minutes. There was even complete transparency with the price.
Thank you very much for your assistance today!
Frequently Asked
Questions
Find the answers to the most commonly asked questions regarding the treatment below:
Is getting a dental crown painful?
Thanks to the advanced local anaesthetic options, getting a dental crown is relatively painless. We also provide sedation for your added comfort if necessary.
What happens if my crown feels loose?
Feel free to call us right away and book a same-day appointment. A loose crown can typically be re-cemented unless the crown or the underlying tooth has been significantly damaged.
How long do dental crowns last?
If you take appropriate care of your dental crowns, they can last a decade or longer. Dental crowns can survive longer with frequent examinations and good 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 check and assess your tooth health to determine whether a dental crown is the best option for you, and then we develop a personalised treatment plan for dental crown preparation.
Treatment
We numb the gums to make the dental operation painless, take digital scans or moulds of the teeth, send them to a dental lab to have the crowns made, and fix the temporary crown.
Final fitting and review
The crown is affixed to the tooth using a strong dental adhesive. The crown is then double-checked for comfort and durability.
