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

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.
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.
