Dental Crowns Bloomsbury

A dental crown is a dental restoration used to shield a damaged or decayed tooth. Crowns are custom-made to fit over the entire tooth, from the chewing surface to the gum line, and are designed to restore the tooth's shape, size, strength, and appearance.Dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, and composite resin. Each material has its advantages and disadvantages, and the choice will depend on the patient's needs and preferences. This procedure involves several visits to the dentist. During the first visit, the dentist will prepare the tooth by removing a small amount of the outer tooth structure to make room for the crown. Impressions of the prepared tooth will then be taken and sent to a dental laboratory, where the crown will be fabricated. Once the crown is prepared, the dentist will check the fit and make any required adjustments before permanently cementing it into place. With proper care and maintenance, a dental crown can last many years, providing a strong and natural-looking restoration for the damaged tooth. Dental crowns are commonly used to: Protect a weak or decayed tooth from further damage. Restore a broken or worn-down tooth. Cover a dental implant. Improve the appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth. Anchor a dental bridge. Protect a tooth after root canal therapy. Dental crowns can improve overall oral health, restore function, and enhance the appearance of the smile.

Dental X-rays, photographs, digital scans or CBCT imaging may be recommended where clinically necessary. Following the assessment, you will receive a personalised treatment plan explaining the findings, available treatment options, recommended sequence of care and expected costs. The dentist will also discuss suitable alternatives, timescales and any advantages or limitations of each option, allowing you to make an informed decision.

Dental Veneers at Medical Dental Spa in West Hampstead, London NW6 Dental veneers are thin, custom-made restorations placed over the front surface of selected teeth to improve their shape, colour, symmetry and overall appearance. They may be considered for teeth that are chipped, worn, uneven, discoloured, irregularly shaped or affected by small gaps. Treatment begins with a detailed cosmetic dental assessment. The dentist will examine the teeth, gums and bite, discuss your expectations and explain whether veneers are the most appropriate option. Alternative treatments, such as professional whitening, composite bonding, teeth contouring or clear aligners, may also be discussed where they could provide a more conservative result. Each veneer treatment plan is personalised to the patient’s facial features, smile line, tooth proportions and preferred outcome. Digital scans, photographs and smile planning may be used to support the design process. In suitable cases, a diagnostic preview or temporary mock-up may be recommended so that the proposed shape and appearance can be assessed before the final treatment. Depending on the clinical situation, veneers may require minimal preparation of the natural tooth surface. Impressions or digital scans are then sent to a dental laboratory, where the veneers are individually created to achieve a precise fit and natural appearance. At the fitting appointment, the shape, shade and overall appearance are checked before the veneers are securely bonded to the teeth. Patients receive personalised advice on cleaning, maintenance and protecting their veneers over the long term. Dental veneers are available at Medical Dental Spa in West Hampstead, London NW6, including evening and weekend appointments. Suitability, treatment stages and expected results are confirmed following a full clinical assessment.
