Dental Crowns
Family & Specialist Dental Practice in Twickenham
Dental crowns or ‘caps’ are restorations that restore badly damaged or weak teeth to their natural shape and colour. They can be used in any part of the mouth and can even be used to reshape front teeth and improve their appearance. They are fitted over the existing tooth structure and are incredibly strong and durable.
Why would I need a dental crown?
Weak teeth – if you have large fillings in your teeth or a large cavity, the remaining tooth structure can be extremely weak and liable to fracturing. A crown fits over this weak tooth and to an extent holds it together, making it far less vulnerable to breaking. We tend to crown most root filled teeth as standard as they can be very weak.
Discoloured teeth – If your tooth has been discoloured by having a large amalgam filling or has been root treated (which can leave your tooth looking grey and unnatural), crowns are an excellent way of masking up this discolouration. They are matched to your natural tooth colour and can hide even the darkest of teeth.
Broken teeth – if your tooth has suffered a breakage, crowns can effectively restore it back to its original shape.
Nimra was very friendly and helpful. Great experience and I highly recommend her!
Have been going to this dental practice for many years and have had only 2 dentists in that time. I could not be happier. Recently have had some dental work to my front teeth and my smile is now amazing. The booking system, hygiene, ambience , knowledge and professionalism is ten out of ten.
I booked an appointment with dr. Yuhong she was very informative and a lovely woman i usually don't like a visit to the dentist but since joining clearmont its been a very pleasant experience, there staff if a testament to the quality of there work
Absolutely excellent experience at this dental practice. The staff I dealt with were fab, especially Molly who couldn't have been more helpful! Lovely atmosphere, professional team. Would 100% recommend.
I am so lucky to have been one of your patients for over 20 years! Today I had a troublesome tooth extracted by Dr Yuhong He. I was dreading it, but I needn't have worried. As always, Dr He put me at my ease with her soothing voice and kept checking to see I wasn't in any discomfort. Her expertise aside, she is warm, welcoming and friendly. Thank you, Dr He!
I have been going to this clinic since 2016 and I am very happy with their services. The receptionists are so lovely and always going above and beyond. The hygienists and dentists are always very professional and reassuring. I moved quite far away from the practice but as I am very happy with them I am not looking to go anywhere else. The practice is located in St Margaret’s which is very easy to access by public transport. I definitely recommend the practice!
What are crowns made of?
Metal-Ceramic crowns – these crowns consist of two layers, metal underneath and porcelain on top. These have added strength due to the metal base and are used in cases where the patient’s bite is extremely strong.
Can I replace my old crown or crowns?
