Ceramic crowns are the best choice for good aesthetically pleasing results. Ideal for visible front front teeth where aesthetics are essential. Excellent natural looking finish. Include the highly popular Emax white tooth crowns.
Highly aesthetic, metal-free and suitable for patients with metal sensitivities. Best suited for your back molar teeth, where primary function is to chew. Not as aesthetically pleasing as ceramic ones, but white coloured and natural looking.
These have a metal core, with porcelain bonded to the outside surface. Strong and durable with a natural look. The porcelain layer can crack sometimes. Zirconia crowns are therefore more popular than these lately.
Gold crowns are the strongest available on the market. Extremely durable and often recommended for back teeth under high biting pressure. Most expensive and least aesthetically pleasing.
Emax crowns are all-ceramic dental crowns made from lithium disilicate, a strong and highly aesthetic material. They are popular because they closely replicate the colour, translucency, and light reflection of natural teeth, making them ideal for visible areas of the smile. Emax crowns are metal-free, which helps prevent gum discolouration and reduces the risk of allergic reactions. Despite their natural appearance, they are also durable and suitable for many biting forces. Their combination of strength, minimal tooth preparation, and excellent cosmetic results makes them a preferred choice for modern restorative dentistry.
Emax crowns are made from lithium disilicate ceramic and are widely chosen for their superior aesthetics. They closely mimic the translucency and colour of natural teeth, making them ideal for front teeth and highly visible areas of the smile. Emax crowns are metal-free, biocompatible, and require less tooth removal compared to some traditional crowns. While they are strong enough for many biting forces, they are best suited for patients without heavy grinding habits or extreme bite pressure.
Zirconia crowns are well known for their durable nature and also for their exceptional strength. Made from zirconium dioxide, they can withstand significant biting and chewing forces, making them ideal for back teeth and patients who clench or grind their teeth. Modern zirconia crowns have improved in appearance and can look very natural, though they are generally less translucent than Emax. Zirconia is also metal-free and highly biocompatible, offering long-lasting performance in demanding areas of the mouth.
Gold crowns are chosen for their exceptional durability, precision fit and long-term reliability. Gold is gentle on opposing teeth, highly resistant to wear, and unlikely to chip or fracture, making it ideal for back teeth that handle heavy chewing forces. Because gold crowns require minimal tooth removal, they help preserve natural tooth structure. They are also biocompatible, meaning they rarely cause allergic reactions or gum irritation. Although less cosmetic than tooth-coloured options, gold crowns often last longer than other materials, making them a practical choice for strength-focused restorations.

Our dentists will start with an assessment of your tooth, followed by a conversation to understand your goals. Based on that and clinical needs, our dentist will advice various crown options available to you.
Once you have agreed the type of crown with the dentist, the dentist will then file and shape your tooth to create space for the crown to sit on top of your natural tooth. They will prepare the tooth so the tooth is then ready to have the crown fitted.
Once this is done, we will take impressions/scans of your teeth to allow the dental laboratory to create a crown that fits perfectly on your reshaped tooth. The dentist will also give you a temporary crown till your permanent crown is received.
Our dental lab will then create your bespoke crown. The dentist will then fit the crown on your tooth to ensure an exact fit and shade match to your natural tooth. The crown is then permanently bonded, polished and adjusted for comfort.
✔️ Advanced technology for accurate fit and natural results
✔️ Choice of crown materials tailored to your needs and budget
✔️ Gentle, patient-focused care in central London locations
✔️ Same-day appointments where possible
A dental crown for your tooth (sometimes called a “tooth cap”) is a custom-made restoration that covers the entire visible surface of a tooth. Crowns are used to protect weak or broken teeth, restore worn-down teeth, replace large fillings or improve the appearance of misshapen or discoloured teeth.
