Kings and Queens: Let’s Talk Types of Dental Crowns

 In Dental Implants

At Strand on the Green Dental in Chiswick, W4, we believe everyone deserves to feel like royalty when it comes to their smile. And what better way to bring some regal sparkle to your oral health than with dental crowns, the unsung heroes of modern dentistry!

Whether you’re restoring a damaged tooth, covering a dental implant, or simply improving aesthetics, dental crowns are a long-lasting solution that brings both strength and beauty to your smile.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns can protect weak teeth from breaking, hold cracked teeth together, or replace large fillings. In a nutshell, they’re fit for a king—or queen!

Types of Dental Crowns – Which One Is Right for You?

At Strand on the Green Dental, we offer a range of dental crown options to suit every smile and budget. Let’s explore your royal choices:

Porcelain Crowns (All-Ceramic)

  • Best for: Front teeth, cosmetic enhancement
  • Pros: Highly aesthetic, natural-looking, metal-free
  • Why our patients love them: These crowns blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and are a favourite for those seeking a flawless, white smile.

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns

  • Best for: Front and back teeth
  • Pros: Strong and durable, with a natural appearance
  • Why our patients choose them: PFMs combine strength with aesthetics—ideal for chewing function while still looking great.

Gold Crowns

  • Best for: Back teeth and patients with strong biting forces
  • Pros: Extremely durable, biocompatible, minimal wear to opposing teeth
  • Why gold never goes out of style: Gold crowns may not match tooth colour, but they offer unmatched longevity and strength—fit for dental royalty.

Zirconia Crowns

  • Best for: Patients needing strength and beauty
  • Pros: Ultra-durable, tooth-coloured, metal-free
  • Why they’re popular: Zirconia crowns offer a strong and aesthetic solution, especially for molars.

What’s the Process for Getting a Dental Crown?

At Strand on the Green Dental, we ensure the process is smooth, efficient, and comfortable:

  1. Initial consultation – We assess the tooth and take X-rays.
  2. Tooth preparation – The tooth is shaped to make space for the crown.
  3. Digital impressions – We take a precise mould of your teeth.
  4. Crown fitting – Once your custom crown is ready, we place and adjust it to perfection.
