Dental crowns are used to protect teeth that have been weakened, damaged, or heavily restored. At London Dental Arts, crowns are not viewed as simple coverings, but as carefully engineered, natural-looking restorations designed to work harmoniously with your bite, surrounding teeth, and long-term oral health.
As a specialist-led dental clinic in South East London, our approach to dental crowns focuses on precision, proportion, and predictability. Whether patients attend from Forest Hill, Lewisham, Dulwich, or nearby areas, treatment is guided by experience and careful judgement rather than speed or routine.
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fits over a tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are commonly recommended when a tooth is too damaged or weakened to be restored with a filling alone.

Read MoreWith proper planning and care, dental crowns can last many years. Longevity depends on factors such as bite forces, oral hygiene, and regular reviews.
Yes. Our crowns are designed to match the colour, shape, and proportions of surrounding teeth, so they blend naturally and seamlessly into your smile.
Crown procedures are carried out with an appropriate local anaesthetic. Patient comfort is prioritised at every stage.
Often, yes. Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment are more brittle and commonly benefit from crown protection.
Crowns are cared for in the same way as natural teeth, with effective brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups.
If you’ve been advised that a crown may be needed, or you’re experiencing problems with an existing restoration, our team is here to help. Care begins with a clear, unhurried assessment and an honest discussion around what’s better for your teeth in the long term.
