Teeth Restored with Dental Crowns in Bromley.
Just like a hat shielding you from the sun, dental crowns provide protection and restore your teeth.
- Tooth Protection | Dental crowns provide a protective barrier for damaged or weakened teeth. They cover the tooth, shielding it from further decay, fractures, or damage, while restoring its strength and functionality.
- Natural Looking | Dental crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring a natural-looking appearance. The materials used, such as porcelain or ceramic, are carefully chosen to match the colour, shape, and texture of your existing teeth.
- Long-Lasting Restorations | Dental crowns are durable restorations that can last for many years with proper care. They are designed to withstand the forces of biting and chewing, providing long-lasting solutions for tooth restoration and replacement. Regular dental check-ups and maintenance are important for their longevity.

What Types of Dental Crowns are Available?
Metal Bonded to Porcelain: Metal bonded to porcelain dental crowns and dental bridges, consist of two parts – a metal or metal alloy core that is directly attached to the tooth’s structure, and an outer layer of porcelain that gives the restoration a natural tooth appearance – These restorations provide a combination of strength and improved aesthetics from the porcelain outer layer.Â
All-Ceramic: All-ceramic restorations for dental crowns and dental bridges are considered the top choice for closely resembling natural teeth. These restorations mimic natural teeth by allowing light to pass through and be reflected. Ceramic restorations are generally crafted in a laboratory using multiple layers of ceramic to achieve the texture and translucency of natural teeth. Alternatively, they can be made from a single block of ceramic with the help of CAD/CAM technology.
Zirconium: Zirconium dental crowns and dental bridges, surpass all-ceramic and metal bonded to porcelain restorations in terms of strength and durability. Zirconia, is virtually indestructible even in extreme biting or chewing forces. Although zirconium restorations can be matched to the colour of your natural teeth, they lack the translucency of all-ceramic restorations.

What Conditions Can a Dental Crown help with?
Weak Tooth: A single tooth can become weak due to factors like tooth decay, trauma or after root canal treatment. To protect the tooth and prevent further damage or infection, a dental crown could be an ideal solution.
Broken Tooth: If you have a broken tooth resulting from a strong impact, such as during contact sports, a dental crown can also be used to restore your tooth
Tooth with a Large Filling: A weakened tooth with a large cavity or filling may become very weak and as such a dental crown can strengthen and protect the underlying tooth.
Severely Worn Tooth: Excessive teeth grinding may cause severe tooth wear. To prevent further deterioration our dentists at Shmile may reccomend a dental crown to be placed over the worn tooth
Crowns on Dental Implants:Â When a tooth is lost and replaced with a dental implant, a dental crown is attached to the implant.
