Dental Crowns in Islington: Strengthen and Beautify Your Smile

At Islington Smiles, our comprehensive range of dental restoration treatments includes crowns.

A damaged or weakened tooth can significantly affect both the appearance and functionality of your smile. At Islington Smiles, we offer high-quality dental crowns in Islington to restore the strength, shape, and appearance of your teeth. Whether you need to repair a cracked tooth, protect a weakened one, or enhance the look of a discoloured tooth, our custom-made dental crowns are a durable and effective solution.

What is a crown?

We can use a crown to repair and restore a tooth that is damaged in some way. It acts as a kind of ‘cap’ for the tooth and sits over the tooth, repairing and further protecting it from damage.

Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of materials, depending on the specific needs and preferences of the patient.

Dental crowns are commonly used for:

– Restoring a Broken or Worn Tooth: If a tooth is severely damaged or worn down, a crown can provide the necessary protection and restore its function.

– Protecting a Weakened Tooth: After a root canal or large filling, a crown can prevent the tooth from further damage or fracture.

– Improving Aesthetics: Crowns can cover discoloured or misshapen teeth, enhancing the appearance of your smile.

– Supporting Dental Bridges: Crowns are used to anchor dental bridges, replacing missing teeth.

Why might I need a crown?

Your tooth might have become damaged due to decay or you might have had an injury that requires restoration to a tooth. Crowns are also sometimes used in conjunction with another treatment such as a bridge or root canal treatment.

What are crowns made of?

Crowns can be made of different materials, and have traditionally often been made using a precious metal such as gold. More recently, Zirconia and porcelain have become more popular as they’re more natural looking as well as highly durable. Composite crowns are also available.

What is the treatment like?

Crowns usually require two appointments for application. At the first appointment, we’ll use local anaesthetic to ensure you don’t feel anything in the area being treated and then prepare the tooth. This usually involves removing any damaged parts before taking a scan or impression.

This is then sent off to a dental laboratory, where your crown will be made. Once ready, you’ll come back into the practice to have your crown fitted and we’ll ensure the bite and fit are all correct.
