Perhaps you’ve got a tooth with a substantial filling, or maybe one that’s had root canal treatment. It could be that you’re looking to enhance the appearance of a discoloured tooth, but a veneer wasn’t quite the right fit.
Thanks to advancements in their strength and natural appearance, porcelain crowns have become a leading choice for bringing damaged teeth back to their former glory. A tooth weakened by root canal work, grinding, decay, or a fracture is more susceptible to breaking under the daily stresses of chewing. But a porcelain crown, expertly fitted by one of our dentists, provides all-round support, effectively strengthening your tooth.
A crown is a complete covering for your tooth, ideal for teeth that are likely to break or are too damaged for a regular filling. When you have a crown fitted at The Ealing Dental Practice, you’ll find it significantly improves your tooth by:
The process of getting a porcelain crown typically involves two appointments at The Ealing Dental Practice.
To ensure your comfort, we’ll start by gently numbing the tooth being treated with a local anaesthetic. One of our skilled dentists will then carefully prepare the tooth – removing a precise amount (around 1.5 to 2mm) to create the perfect space for your new crown.
Next, we’ll take a detailed 3D digital scan or impression of the prepared tooth. This allows our expert dental technician to craft a porcelain crown that not only looks incredibly natural but also feels comfortable and functions perfectly with your bite.
While your permanent crown is being made, we’ll fit a temporary crown to protect your tooth. During the next couple of weeks, it’s best to avoid sticky foods near the temporary crown to keep it secure. If it does happen to come loose, try to gently put it back in place as soon as possible, and give us a call at The Ealing Dental Practice if you’re unable to do so. The temporary crown is there to prevent sensitivity and keep your gums in the best condition for your final crown.
When you return to The Ealing Dental Practice, we’ll carefully remove the temporary crown and try in your beautiful new porcelain crown. We’ll make sure it fits perfectly and looks just right, even taking a dental X-ray to confirm the fit and appearance.
Once we’re both happy, we’ll apply a special adhesive to your tooth and then securely bond the porcelain crown into place with dental cement, removing any excess. We’ll then provide you with all the information you need to look after your new crown and keep your smile healthy and bright!

With proper care and regular check-ups at The Ealing Dental Practice, a porcelain crown can typically last for 12 to 15 years, and often even longer! Think of it as a long-term investment in your smile and oral health.
Yes, unfortunately, decay can still occur under a crown if it's not properly looked after. Just like your natural teeth, your crown needs regular brushing and flossing to prevent plaque and bacteria build-up. We'll show you the best ways to care for your crown during your appointments at The Ealing Dental Practice.
Absolutely. While crowns are often used to protect teeth after root canal treatment, they are also an excellent solution when more than half of a tooth's natural structure has been compromised by damage or decay. Our dentists at The Ealing Dental Practice will assess your individual needs to determine the best course of treatment.
Yes, you certainly will! Once your crown is securely in place, you can eat all your favourite foods. However, we usually advise being a little cautious with very hard or sticky foods for the first 24 hours to allow the dental cement to fully set.
Not at all, as long as you use proper flossing techniques. In fact, flossing daily is crucial for keeping the gum line around your crown healthy. Our dental hygienists at The Ealing Dental Practice can demonstrate the best way to floss around your crown during your hygiene appointments..
Definitely! Porcelain is an ideal material for front teeth as it can be expertly matched to the natural shade of your surrounding teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking smile. We understand the importance of aesthetics, especially for your front teeth, here at The Ealing Dental Practice.
Yes, if the underlying tooth structure is still healthy, a chipped or cracked crown can certainly be replaced. Our dentists at The Ealing Dental Practice will carefully evaluate the condition of your tooth and advise on the best course of action.
There are several reasons why a crown might be recommended. These include having a large cavity, a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment, damage due to grinding, or a fracture in the tooth. Our team at The Ealing Dental Practice will conduct a thorough examination to determine if a crown is the right solution for your specific needs.
We understand that many patients feel anxious about dental procedures. Rest assured, we use local anaesthetic to ensure you feel no pain during the crown placement process. Once the anaesthetic wears off, you might experience some mild tenderness or sensitivity, which usually subsides quickly.
For the first 24 hours after your crown is fitted, we recommend avoiding very sticky or hard foods to allow the cement to fully set. It's also best to avoid chewing directly on the new crown during this initial period. We'll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions at The Ealing Dental Practice.
Absolutely! Maintaining your regular brushing and flossing routine is essential for the health of your gums and the longevity of your crown. We encourage you to continue brushing twice a day and flossing once a day to keep your entire mouth healthy.
At The Ealing Dental Practice, we primarily use high-quality porcelain for our crowns. Porcelain offers excellent strength and can be precisely matched to the natural colour of your teeth, providing a beautiful and durable restoration.
The length of your appointment can vary slightly depending on the complexity of the case. However, typically, the first appointment for preparing the tooth and taking impressions will take around one hour. The second appointment for fitting the final crown is usually shorter, lasting approximately 30-45 minutes. We always aim to be efficient while ensuring the highest quality of care at The Ealing Dental Practice.
Looking for a minimally invasive and highly effective way to enhance your smile? Composite bonding at The Ealing Dental Practice offers a fantastic solution for addressing a variety of cosmetic concerns, from minor chips and cracks to gaps and discolouration. This gentle yet transformative treatment can make a significant difference to the appearance of your teeth, leaving you with a more confident and harmonious smile.
Composite bonding involves the skilful application of a tooth-coloured resin material to your existing teeth. Our experienced dentists at The Ealing Dental Practice meticulously sculpt and shape this composite material to seamlessly blend with your natural teeth, creating a flawless and natural-looking result.

This makes it a comfortable and convenient option for many patients at The Ealing Dental Practice.
The composite bonding procedure is typically completed in a single visit. Our skilled dentist will:
With good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing, flossing, and routine check-ups at The Ealing Dental Practice, your composite bonding can last for many years, providing you with a beautiful smile you can be proud of.
