Dental Crowns in Ealing

A crown is a type of dental restoration used to fix teeth that have been broken, weakened by decay, or have a very large filling. The crown fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape of a natural tooth. It will also be tooth coloured, giving the restoration a more natural appearance so it fits in with the rest of your teeth.

A crown could be a good solution for you if you have some discoloured fillings and would like to improve their appearance. Crowns can be used to replace these to give you a more aesthetic smile. Also, if you have had root canal treatment you will need a crown to protect or cap the restored tooth, allowing you to eat and bite down on it as if it was a real tooth. Crowns are also used to anchor a bridge or denture firmly in place in the mouth.


HOW IS A CROWN PLACED?

The problem tooth will require reducing down so the crown can fit over it. Then your dentist in West Ealing will make an impression of your teeth and gums. This is to enable a lab to make the dental crown exactly to suit your tooth. You will receive a temporary crown, to protect the tooth until the permanent crown is ready. At your next appointment with Stunning Smile Clinic, your dentist will remove the temporary crown and cement the permanent crown onto the tooth.

WILL IT LOOK NATURAL?

The aim is to have your new crown look exactly the same as your natural tooth. This is the reason for the impression. It allows the dentist to craft the look of your smile, he will consider the colour, bite, shape and length of your natural teeth. You can let your dentist know what look you want for your crown. Your teeth will be more attractive and stronger after the procedure.

WHY CROWNS AND NOT VENEERS?

A crown will need the dentist to remove more of the tooth than a veneer, so they cover more of the tooth than veneers. Crowns are usually used for teeth that have sustained significant loss of structure or to replace missing teeth. Crowns can be placed on natural teeth or dental implants.

HOW LONG DO CROWNS LAST?

Just like natural teeth, it depends upon your dental hygiene and how well you take care of them. They should last five to eight years, but with good care and maintenance, most crowns will last for much longer. Things that can shorten the life of a crown include grinding your teeth, chewing ice and fingernail biting.

I’ve always had fantastic treatment from Dariush in whom I have total confidence. I am very happy with my latest treatment, a Cerec crown, a pain free experience. An implant he did for me many years ago has been extremely successful and problem free.

I attended the clinic needing an implant to replace a tooth that had been extracted 4 years earlier. There was bone loss on both teeth next to the the extracted tooth but dr Darius managed to place an implant in my lower jaw without a bone graft or impact on the lower nerves. The implant is perfect.After the implant he recommended fillings on other teeth where previous dentists had failed. All fillings have been successful and i have a full set of teeth again.Dr Darius carried out all the operations with great professionalism and care.

I can never thank Dr Dariush enough for his professionalism, kindness and care. He goes beyond his duties to make sure you are treated like one of the family. It’s not just a job, it’s his passion and he loves his clients to the extent he will always choose the most cost effective option for the patient rather than benefit his business. It’s very rare to find a professional with such amazing morals. I trust him with my eyes closed and would recommend everyone and anyone.
