Dental Crowns Lewisham
A dental crown is a protective cap that covers a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are often used to safeguard a weakened tooth from breaking, repair a broken tooth, or cover a tooth that has undergone a root canal treatment. Made from materials such as porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of these, crowns are custom-crafted to match the contours of your natural tooth and blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth. The process involves preparing the tooth, taking an impression, and placing a temporary crown until the permanent one is ready. Once fitted, dental crowns offer a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing solution for damaged teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental crowns last?
Dental crowns can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years, depending on factors such as the material used, the location of the crown, and how well you care for it. With proper maintenance, such as regular brushing and avoiding hard foods, crowns can last longer.
Does getting a dental crown hurt?
The procedure is generally not painful, as it is performed under local anesthesia. After the anesthesia wears off, some mild discomfort or sensitivity may occur, but this is usually temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
How do I care for a dental crown?
To ensure the longevity of your dental crown, practice good oral hygiene by brushing at least twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly. Avoid chewing on hard or sticky foods, and if you grind your teeth at night, consider wearing a night guard to protect your crown.
Can I get a crown on a tooth that has had a root canal?
Yes, crowns are often recommended for teeth that have undergone root canal therapy. A crown helps protect the treated tooth from fractures and restores its function, making it a vital part of the root canal treatment process.
Are there different types of dental crowns?
Yes, dental crowns come in various materials, including:
- Porcelain or Ceramic Crowns: These are highly aesthetic and match the natural color of your teeth, making them ideal for front teeth.
- Metal Crowns: Made from gold, palladium, or other metals, these are durable and often used for back teeth, where they are less visible.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns: These combine the strength of metal with the aesthetics of porcelain, making them suitable for both front and back teeth.
- Resin Crowns: These are a more affordable option but are less durable than other types of crowns.
