Dental Crowns
At Camden Place Dental Practice, Preston, our focus is always on providing the most aesthetic and durable restorations for every tooth. Our priority is creating a lasting finish and look for our patients, that they are happy and comfortable with. For this reason, nearly all crowns that we place are all-porcelain Emax crowns.
These types of all-ceramic crowns give an appealing translucent colour, which is combined with extra strength and durability to create the most natural cosmetic finish. Its toughness, durability and opaque qualities make it a highly prized crown, whilst achieving outstanding aesthetics with its glass ceramic surface and delicate appearance.
Dental Crowns
Advantages of all-porcelain Eimax crowns:
- Patients wearing any form of removable dentures – this includes partial or full dentures.
- Loose or unstable dentures due to lack of bone.
- Those with a strong gagging reflex which is stopping them from wearing dentures.
- Patients with decaying teeth on the verge of loosing their teeth and not wanting to wear dentures.
- Any patient with gum disease affecting all their teeth on the verge of loosing their teeth and not wanting to wear dentures.
- Patients affected by lack of tolerance and diminished oral sensation due to plastic dentures.
- Cost! Sometimes continuous having filling after filling, root canal after root canal treatment, crowns after crowns, denture after denture, etc… For every single individual tooth can lead to overall higher costs. The full jaw of implant fixed teeth can be a more cost-effective form of treatment in the long-term.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fits over a damaged, weakened, or heavily restored tooth. It helps restore function, protect structural integrity, and improve the tooth’s appearance.
When might I need a dental crown?
A crown may be recommended if a tooth is cracked, worn, heavily filled, weakened after root canal treatment, or too damaged for a standard filling. Crowns can help prevent further complications and support long-term durability.
Do dental crowns look natural?
Modern dental crowns can be designed to blend with the shape, shade, and appearance of your natural teeth. The goal is to restore strength while achieving a natural-looking result that fits comfortably with your bite
How long do dental crowns last?
Dental crowns can last many years with good oral hygiene, regular check-ups, and careful bite management. Their longevity depends on the material used, tooth condition, gum health, and daily habits such as grinding or clenching.
