When teeth become damaged, weakened, or broken, dental crowns provide a long-lasting solution to restore strength, function, and appearance.

A crown acts as a protective cap, covering a chipped, broken, or weakened tooth to prevent further damage. They are also used to:

  • Strengthen the tooth after root canal treatment.
  • Restore dental implants for a natural-looking tooth replacement.
  • Improve aesthetics by reshaping discoloured or misshapen teeth.

At Leys Road Dental, our clinicians have extensive experience in designing and fitting custom-made crowns tailored to each patient’s needs.

Types of crowns we offer

We offer a variety of crown materials to suit different needs and preferences:

Porcelain crowns

  • Provide a natural-looking, tooth-coloured appearance.
  • Commonly used for front teeth to blend seamlessly with your smile.

Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns

  • Offer the strength of metal with a natural tooth-coloured coating.
  • Ideal for both front and back teeth, this combination offers durability and aesthetics.

Zirconia crowns

  • Extremely strong, durable, and resistant to chipping.
  • Metal-free for a natural, aesthetic finish.
  • Suitable for both front and back teeth, offering long-lasting strength.

Gold crowns

  • Extremely strong and long-lasting, making them ideal for back teeth.
  • Resistant to wear and fracture, offering exceptional durability.

Advanced crown technology

At Leys Road Dental, we utilise cutting-edge materials, including E-Max and LAVA Zirconia, to ensure maximum strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal. With proper care, crowns can last for decades. We also offer a one-year guarantee on all porcelain and zirconia crowns.

Veneers vs crowns: What’s the difference?

Inlays & onlays: Conservative restorations

For teeth that require restoration but not a full crown, inlays and onlays provide a minimally invasive alternative:

  • Inlays: Designed to fit within the grooves of a damaged tooth, restoring structure without covering the entire surface.
  • Onlays: Extend over the cusps of a tooth, providing additional support while preserving natural tooth structure.

Both options are custom-made from porcelain or composite materials, offering a seamless, natural look.

Skilled prosthodontic treatment

At Leys Road Dental, we provide professional care for patients requiring advanced restorative solutions. Our prosthodontist is skilled in complex dental restorations, including crowns, bridges, and dentures.

Benefits of seeing a prosthodontist:

  • Gifted in complex restorations: From crowns to full-mouth reconstructions.
  • Tailored solutions: For functional and aesthetic results.
  • Long-term dental health: A prosthodontist ensures that restorations are well integrated, preventing future issues.
  • Comprehensive care: We focus on the entire mouth, ensuring all treatments are designed to work together harmoniously.

If you require professional restorative treatment, our prosthodontist will work with you to achieve the best possible outcome. Learn more about our prosthodontic treatment here.
