Crowns

All ceramic, natural looking dental crowns in Putney SW15

WHAT ARE CROWNS?

Dental crowns are tooth shaped caps that cover & protect damaged, broken and cracked tooth.  They are fixed in by the dentist to visibly cover the old damaged tooth from view, giving you a natural appearance and smile.

WHY ARE ALKALI CROWNS BETTER?

In a traditional crowns procedure, the tooth is shortened and thinned to a small peg and then a "cap" made of metal or porcelain is placed over the whole tooth.  The problem is that in 15-20% of cases, the tooth will need a root canal.

If you get decay underneath the crown, it can cause the loss of the tooth altogether.  Also, they sometimes don't look natural and can detract from the natural beauty of your smile.

Alkali advanced crowns are called BPRs (Bonded Porcelain Restoration) & BCRs (Bonded Composite Restoration).

They are better because:

•  They mimic the strength & beauty of your natural teeth.

•  They are custom crafted for you.

•  They keep the walls of the teeth intact & strong.

•  Once they are bonded in they behave just like the tooth itself.

WHY WOULD I NEED A CROWN?

•  To protect and support old large fillings.

•  To protect and support weakened tooth (cracked & broken tooth).

•  If your tooth has undergone severe decay.

•  If you grind your teeth to the point that it reduces its original level.

•  To cover a dental implant.

•  To cover a severely discoloured tooth.
