Dental Crowns in Lewisham for Strong, Natural Looking Tooth Restoration

ChatGPT said:

At ToothBrush Dental in Lewisham, we use dental crowns to strengthen damaged teeth, restore function and improve the appearance of your smile. A crown (sometimes called a “cap”) fits over the entire visible part of a tooth, protecting it when it has been weakened by decay, large fillings, cracks, root canal treatment or wear. Crowns are also commonly used to restore broken teeth and to complete dental implant treatment.

Before recommending a dental crown, we carry out a full clinical examination and take any necessary digital X-rays to assess the health of the tooth and surrounding bone. We’ll discuss all suitable options with you, explain the benefits and limitations, and help you choose the best type of crown for your needs, budget and cosmetic goals.

At ToothBrush Dental, we provide a range of high-quality crown materials, including:

  • Porcelain and ceramic crowns – Tooth-coloured options designed to blend naturally with your existing teeth. These are ideal for front teeth and visible areas where appearance is especially important.

  • Metal crowns – Very strong and durable, often used for back teeth where aesthetics are less critical and biting forces are higher.

  • Precious metal crowns (gold or silver alloys) – Long-lasting, gentle on opposing teeth and highly reliable, especially for molars.

  • E-max crowns – A premium all-ceramic material known for its excellent strength, translucency and natural-looking aesthetics – often chosen for smile makeovers and highly visible teeth.

During your crown treatment, the tooth is gently reshaped, an impression or digital scan is taken, and a custom crown is made in a dental laboratory to fit precisely. You will usually wear a temporary crown while your final one is being crafted. At your fitting appointment, the permanent crown is tried in, adjusted if needed, and then securely bonded in place. We will also show you how to care for your new crown so it lasts as long as possible.

If you have a broken tooth, large old filling, heavily worn tooth or have been advised you need a crown, we’re here to help. Contact ToothBrush Dental today to book a consultation for dental crowns in Lewisham and discover the best porcelain, ceramic, metal, gold, silver or E-max crown options to restore and protect your smile.

When a Tooth Is Too Weak to Protect Itself

A heavily filled, fractured, or deeply decayed tooth can feel sensitive, unstable, or difficult to chew on. If left untreated, the tooth may continue to weaken or even break further.

A dental crown provides long term strength and support, helping you keep your natural tooth securely in place.

At ToothBrush Dental in Lewisham, you receive clear guidance and gentle care to help you feel confident about your treatment.
