Dental crowns typically last between 5 and 15 years, depending on oral hygiene, bite forces and general wear.
When a tooth has been weakened by decay, wear or injury, a dental crown can restore both strength and appearance. At Lakewood Dental in Carshalton, our crowns are carefully designed to protect compromised teeth while blending naturally with your smile.
Each crown is custom made to suit your bite, tooth shape and shade, helping you chew comfortably and smile with confidence again.

A dental crown is a custom-made restoration designed to reinforce a tooth that has been weakened by decay, wear, or injury. It fits precisely over the existing tooth structure, restoring strength and stability while improving appearance and function. By protecting the remaining tooth, a crown helps prevent further damage and allows the tooth to perform normally during everyday biting and chewing.
Crowns are commonly used after:
Extensive tooth decay
Tooth fracture or injury
Severe tooth wear
Root canal treatment
Large or failing fillings
At Lakewood Dental, crowns are designed to feel natural and withstand everyday biting and chewing.
We offer a range of crown materials to suit different clinical and aesthetic needs. Your dentist will guide you through the options and recommend what is most suitable for your tooth.
Materials may include:
Porcelain crowns
Porcelain bonded to metal crowns
Zirconia crowns
E max ceramic crowns
Each option balances strength, appearance and longevity differently, allowing treatment to be tailored to you.
Dental crowns provide both functional and cosmetic benefits, including:
Restoring chewing and biting strength
Protecting weakened teeth from further damage
Improving the appearance of damaged teeth
Covering imperfections and discolouration
Supporting long-term oral health
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, crowns can provide reliable, long-lasting results.
01
Your dentist begins by assessing the condition of the tooth and confirming whether a crown is required. X-rays, digital impressions and clinical photographs may be taken to plan treatment accurately.
Material options and costs are discussed clearly. Finance options are available if you wish to spread the cost.
02
Local anaesthetic is used to keep you comfortable. Any decay is removed and the tooth is carefully shaped to allow the crown to fit securely and naturally. A digital scan is taken and sent to the dental technician. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth.
03
Once ready, your bespoke crown replaces the temporary one. Your dentist checks the fit, bite and shade before securing it in place. Adjustments can be made to ensure comfort and satisfaction.
Dental crown treatment at Lakewood Dental is delivered by experienced, GDC-registered clinicians working closely with skilled technicians to achieve precise, natural results.
