Dental Crowns in Tonbridge, Kent

Your smile is a powerful asset, and dental crowns at Tonbridge Gentle Dental can help you regain confidence and maintain excellent oral health. Say goodbye to damaged teeth and hello to a brighter, more radiant smile.

When it comes to dental health, a confident smile speaks volumes. Dental issues such as cracked, chipped, or discoloured teeth can affect your self-esteem and overall oral health. Fortunately, dental crowns offer a reliable solution to these problems.  Tonbridge Gentle Dental can help you regain confidence and maintain excellent oral health with dental crowns.

Dental Crowns in Tonbridge, Kent at Tonbridge Gentle DentalWhat Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns, often referred to as “tooth caps,” are custom-made restorations that cover the entire visible portion of a damaged tooth. They are designed to enhance the tooth’s appearance, strength, and functionality while providing protection against further damage.

Who are the candidates for dental crowns?

Candidates for dental crowns typically include individuals with various dental issues such as:

  • Tooth Decay: When a tooth has significant decay that cannot be restored with a filling, a crown may be recommended to provide structural support.
  • Fractured or Cracked Teeth: Teeth with extensive fractures or cracks can benefit from crowns, as they help to hold the tooth together and prevent further damage.
  • Weakened Teeth: Teeth that have been weakened due to large fillings or root canal treatments often require crowns to protect them from breaking.
  • Cosmetic Enhancements: Crowns can be used for cosmetic purposes, such as covering discoloured or misshapen teeth, improving the overall appearance of the smile.
  • Root Canal Treatment: After a root canal procedure, a crown is commonly placed over the treated tooth to strengthen it and prevent infection.
  • Dental Bridges: Crowns are used as anchors to support dental bridges, replacing missing teeth.
  • Implants: Dental implants are topped with crowns to create natural-looking and functioning replacement teeth.

Our dentist will evaluate your specific dental condition and recommend a crown if it is the most suitable option to restore the tooth’s function and appearance.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns can address a range of dental issues, making them a versatile solution. They are commonly used to:

  • Restore Damaged Teeth: If you have a tooth that is cracked, chipped, or extensively decayed, a dental crown can restore its structure and function.
  • Improve Aesthetics: Crowns can effectively mask discolouration, staining, or misshapen teeth, providing a more aesthetically pleasing smile.
  • Strengthen Weak Teeth: Teeth weakened by large fillings or root canal treatments can be strengthened and protected with crowns.
  • Support Dental Bridges: Dental crowns serve as anchor points for dental bridges, filling the gap created by missing teeth.
  • Cover Dental Implants: They are used to cover dental implants, seamlessly integrating them into your natural smile.

The Procedure

  • Evaluation and Planning: The process begins with a comprehensive dental examination to determine if dental crowns are the right solution for you. X-rays may be taken to assess the tooth’s condition and surrounding structures.
  • Tooth Preparation: If deemed suitable, your dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any damaged or decayed portions. This ensures a proper fit for the crown.
  • Impression: An impression of the prepared tooth is taken, which serves as a model for creating the custom crown.
  • Temporary Crown: While your permanent crown is being crafted in a dental laboratory, a temporary crown is placed to protect the prepared tooth.
  • Crown Placement: Once your custom crown is ready, usually within a few weeks, you return to the dentist for the final placement. The temporary crown is removed, and the permanent one is cemented into place.

I have to admit, I'm usually not the biggest fan of dentist visits, but my recent experience at Gentle Dental changed my perspective. Ruth and her remarkable dental team provided an incredible level of care that exceeded all my expectations. Ruth, in particular, led the way with her expertise, patience and gentle approach. As someone who has always felt anxious in dental environments, Ruth's calming demeanour instantly put me at ease, and she consistently checked in to ensure I was comfortable and adjusted her approach accordingly. Gentle Dental truly lives up to its name, and I cannot recommend them enough. If anyone like me have had negative experiences with dentists in the past, this practice will hopefully be a stepping stone to change your perception. Ruth and her team have mastered the art of providing dental care that is not only exceptional but also empathetic.

I had been going to a different local private dentist and I was becoming more and more upset, frustrated and disappointed with their service, prices and their dismissive attitude towards my medical and dental needs. I was recommended Gentle Dental by a neighbour and I thank the stars that I decided to go with them. I have various medical conditions which have had a major negative impact on my teeth, my teeth were snapping off at the gums or just splintering and breaking off in chuncks. I had asked my previous dentist about removing my teeth and having dentures, however they refused and wanted to just keep doing fillings again and again on the same teeth!! I saw Dr Shahnaz Nowroozi and her amazing assistant Man (Manrupa) every single tiny thing was explained to me in detail they listened to my fears and concerns regarding my constantly breaking teeth, my really sensitive gums and my medical conditions and medications. We discussed what I ideally wanted to happen and I was actually listened to... It was explained what would be feasible and the reasons why some things wouldn't be ideal. My treatment plan was constructed while I was in the appointment and I was included at every step. For the most part it was agreed that it was a fools errand to keep trying to repair the same teeth again and again, we also discussed the full pro's and cons of having dentures etc etc. I was offered a repayment loan for my treatment however I never felt that I was being forced into taking it. My treatment was amazing, seriously, I never knew teeth could be removed without pain!! Literally my extractions were painless even the injections to numb my mouth were relatively painless. Dr Shahnaz and Man treated me like I was their most important client, I was constantly asked if I was OK and comfortable (I am riddled with quite acute arthritis in my neck and back and every effort was made to completely accommodate me) I really cannot praise the above staff enough, my completed dentures are amazing and I am like a new person, I have my confidence back, I can talk to people without having to hover my hand in front of my mouth, people have said that they would never have guessed that I had dentures because they fit so well and look so good. Overall every staff member I met at Tonbridge Gentle Dental was friendly and helpful but Dr Shahnaz and Man her assistant are both absolutely amazing and I don't think I would ever be comfortable seeing another dentist again.

I have been absolutely terrified of dentists since I was 14 years old and had to go to the school dentist. I cannot praise gentle dental enough they are so kind, knowledgeable and brilliant, they restored my faith in dental care, I will never worry again. Outstanding.

I have nothing but praise and appreciation for the receptionists, dentist and nurse who dealt with me. I could not be more pleased with my new dentures and a big thank you to Dr Neethu Joy for all the time and detail she went to making sure they fitted well. A ten out of ten from me. Sandra
