Crowns

For any damaged teeth, we can use crowns to restore their structure and appearance. Crowns are usually made from porcelain or ceramic so they look as close to the real thing as possible. The crowns work by fitting over the damaged tooth, restoring its strength and appearance. Crowns can also be used to fit on top of a dental implant to replace a missing tooth.

We offer the following types of crown:

  • Porcelain
  • Zirconia
  • Emax
  • Porcelain bonded to metal
  • Gold

What does the treatment involve?

We first start by carrying out a full assessment so we can be sure that tooth we plan to restore is healthy enough to support a crown. We may need to treat the tooth beforehand if we notice any infection.

The tooth is prepared, removing only the amount of enamel that’s necessary to accommodate the crown. We then take impressions of the treated tooth. These are used to create your custom-made crown.

We provide a temporary crown so the tooth is protected between appointments. Once your new crown is ready, we have you back in for the fitting where we check the fit and then secure it in place with dental adhesive.

Looking after your crowns

You will need to treat your crown with as much care as the rest of your teeth. While the new crown will be resistant to decay and bacteria, the natural tooth supporting it isn’t. It’s worth avoiding biting the crown on any unusually hard foods.

During your dental examinations, your dentist will check your crowns and keep an eye on them to ensure they last for as long as possible.

Angi has been my dental hygienist since 2015. I used to very bad gums issues , but with gentle care and teaching Angi was able to support my dental health. She is the best hygienist, highly professional, quick and always on time

I would highly recommend Dr Ana Bosco and the Smilepod team. I undertook extensive treatment: braces; whitening; and finally the replacement of a crown on my front tooth - an area which I had long been self-conscious about. I am absolutely delighted with the results and it was well worth the time and effort. I have received lots of compliments about my smile and the crown matches so well, no one can tell that it isn't real. Thank you so much to Ana and the team!

I think I must have been living under a rock as at the age of 51 I have only just realised what a proper and professional dental check up was like. This is my 1st time at Smilepod Moorgate and Carine was amazing. Considered and thorough. Every stage of the check brilliantly explained and options discussed. Wish I'd found them sooner....

One of my favourite things about this clinic is Kate Guti, not only is she an excellent hygienist, but she is funny and gentle. I never have to worry because she’s a professional at her job, I always get amazing results with her. Overall Smilepod is a really great clinic and I’m glad to have discovered it a few years ago.

I found Smile Pod from google search for a tooth cleaning/hygienist appointment. I had a really positive experience with Dr Rodrigo (so much so I wanted to write a review). Will definitely come back and felt very comfortable and in safe hands. Happy with the results. The appointment was made on the same day which was an added benefit!

I have only good things to say. The staff at Smilepod Holborn are amazing - kind, accommodating, and professional. I looked long and hard before settling on a dentist, and I am glad I did - 5-star, friendly service all around.In particular, Dr. Ana Maria Mackinnon is fabulously skilled and down to earth (with a witty sense of humor). It is not just her level of skill (which is high); it is her approach (solving complex issues in the least invasive way possible). Thank you, Ana Maria!Likewise, Dr. Ana Bosco's work is superb - she perfected my smile. She is also lovely, takes her time with patients, and explains every step along the way. Thanks, Ana!Costs are fair and reasonable for dental services, especially in light of the level of skill.
