What are Dental Crowns?
Unlike inlays and onlays, dental crowns cover the entire tooth and, hence, are the strongest of all restorations. Crowns are indicated to restore the natural anatomy of teeth that are severely worn, fractured or decayed. They protect and strengthen teeth that have large restorations or those that have undergone root canal therapy.
If you’re looking for dental crowns Bayswater patients trust, at Bayswater Dental Surgery we offer a range of options, including metal, gold, and porcelain bonded to metal and purely porcelain. Each has its own attributes and can be discussed in more detail with your surgeon; here is a summary of the ones available. We also offer flexible finance options so you can get the smile you have always wanted.
Gold Crowns
For longevity, gold crowns cannot be surpassed. They are the most bio-compatible material and the strongest in thin sections. As they are made of precious metal, they are least reactive to saliva and, hence, the longest-lasting crown.
They are available in increasing percentages of gold and again are made by our highly skilled technicians and thus require two visits to be made.
Gold crowns preserve more of the natural tooth structure because their exceptional strength allows for minimal removal of healthy enamel and dentin.
They provide a precise, long-lasting fit, reducing the risk of decay forming around the edges.
Gold is gentle on opposing teeth, minimising wear and maintaining the integrity of your bite over time.
These crowns are particularly ideal for molars and teeth subjected to heavy chewing forces, combining durability with comfort.
Porcelain
Purely porcelain crowns give the ultimate in aesthetics for the most discerning of patients. Made of a white Aluminium Oxide core, giving the crown its strength, the crown is totally translucent, allowing light to pass straight through it like a natural tooth.
So natural, that even dental surgeons have difficulty in telling these apart from natural teeth!
The process by which these crowns are made, however, is slightly more complex. To allow our skilled technicians to achieve such natural aesthetics, the patient is required to attend their laboratory on two occasions.
The first is to allow the technicians to meet the patient and take digital photos of the patient's teeth using an Arcam Camera. The second visit is on the day of the fitting of the crown; once the temporary crowns have been removed by the surgeon, the patient has to attend the laboratory again for the final shading and adjustments to make the crown perfectly natural.
Porcelain Bonded Crowns
Aesthetically tooth coloured, these crowns are made of a thin layer of metal covered entirely by porcelain giving the crown a natural look, the metal underneath the porcelain giving the strength. There are different metals that can be used underneath the porcelain.
The first metal that can be used is Palladium, which is a precious metal similar to gold. The second and arguably best type of porcelain bonded crown, is that bonded to gold. With all the attributes of gold but the aesthetics of porcelain, this crown has the best of both worlds - longevity and aesthetics.
The process by which these types of crowns are made is the same as before, requiring two visits.

Treatment Process
Consultation
At the first visit, your dentist may take a few X-rays to check the roots of the tooth receiving the crown and surrounding bone. If the tooth has extensive decay or if there is a risk of infection or injury to the tooth’s pulp, a root canal treatment may first be performed.
Crown Placement
At your second visit, your dentist will remove your temporary crown and check the fit and colour of the permanent crown as part of our dental crowns Bayswater service. If everything is acceptable, a local anaesthetic may be used to numb the tooth, and the new crown is permanently cemented in place.
Aftercare
Finally, once the crown is fitted, it is important to look after your crown. You can care for it in the same way as your natural teeth. Crowns will last up to five years or more if looked after carefully and if you keep up with your routine check-ups.
