Dental Crowns in Hanwell
Protect What Remains Restore What Was Lost.
At Hanwell Smiles on Uxbridge Road, crowns are recommended when a tooth has lost enough structure – through decay, fracture, or a previous large filling – that it needs full coverage to function safely. The material is chosen based on the tooth’s position and the forces it needs to bear.
Zirconia for back teeth — strength that matches natural enamel
Zirconia is now our preferred material for molar and premolar crowns — strong enough to withstand heavy biting forces while looking completely natural
Full porcelain for front teeth — the aesthetic benchmark
Feldspathic porcelain has the same translucency as natural enamel — essential for front teeth where appearance and colour matching are the priority
Two appointments with a temporary crown between visits
We prepare the tooth and fit a temporary crown at the first visit — you leave with a protected, functional tooth while the laboratory makes the permanent one

The Right Material for the Right Tooth
Back teeth need strength above aesthetics — zirconia delivers both. Front teeth need the natural translucency that only full porcelain provides. We explain the material options and the reasons for our recommendation at your consultation, before anything is agreed.

Need Root Canal Before a Crown?
If the tooth is heavily broken down or infected, root canal treatment may be needed before placing the crown. We discuss this as part of the same treatment plan — one team, one plan, fully costed upfront.
Serving Hanwell Patients
What's Included in Your
Crown Treatment
Crown treatment at Hanwell Smiles is a two-appointment process – here’s what every stage involves.
Assessment and X-Ray
We examine the tooth in detail, take an X-ray to check the root and surrounding bone, and assess whether the tooth can support a crown long-term. If root canal is also needed, we plan both together and confirm the full cost upfront.
Tooth Preparation
Under local anaesthetic, the tooth is reduced by a precise amount — removing damaged material and creating a uniform space for the crown. The preparation is done carefully to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
Impressions or Digital Scan
Detailed impressions or a digital scan capture the exact shape of the prepared tooth and the bite on either side. This data goes to the dental laboratory where the crown is fabricated to exact specifications.
Temporary Crown
A temporary crown is placed over the prepared tooth to protect it and maintain function and appearance while the permanent crown is being made. Most patients find the temporary crown comfortable and largely indistinguishable from the permanent one.
Crown Fitting
The permanent crown is checked for fit, contact points, shade and bite precision before permanent cementation. We check the bite in multiple positions and make any adjustments before the appointment ends. You leave with a fully functional tooth.
Aftercare and Maintenance
We advise on caring for the crown — brushing, flossing around the margin, and the check-up intervals that keep it performing well. Crowns are monitored at every routine examination.

Material Matters
Zirconia vs Full Porcelain vs PFM How We Choose
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns dominated restorative dentistry for decades and still have a strong track record – metal core for strength, porcelain exterior for appearance. Their limitation is that the metal can occasionally show as a dark line at the gum margin as gums recede over time.
Zirconia: our preferred material for back teeth — exceptional strength, no metal, natural appearance
Full porcelain: the benchmark for front teeth — light transmission that matches natural enamel closely

Prevention is Always Cheaper
When a Crown Saves a Tooth That Would
Otherwise Be Lost
A crown isn’t just a cosmetic restoration. In many cases it’s the decision that determines whether a tooth survives the next decade or eventually fractures beyond repair.
After Root Canal Treatment
Root-treated teeth become significantly more brittle because the removal of the pulp takes away the tooth's blood and nerve supply. Without a crown, a root-treated molar subjected to normal chewing forces will eventually crack — often vertically through the root, making the tooth unrestorable.
Heavily Fractured or Broken Teeth
A tooth broken to the extent that a filling can't provide stable support is a tooth at risk. Every chewing cycle flexes the remaining tooth structure — progressively widening any cracks present. A crown halts this process by binding the remaining tooth structure and distributing forces across the whole crown surface.
Heavily Worn Teeth
Severe tooth grinding (bruxism) erodes enamel to the point where teeth become sensitive, short and at risk of fracture. Crowns can rebuild worn teeth to their correct height and provide durable surfaces that withstand continued grinding forces — often alongside a night guard to slow future wear.
How Long Does Crown Treatment Take?
Crown treatment at Hanwell Smiles involves two main appointments — preparation and fitting — typically one to two weeks apart while the laboratory makes the permanent crown. The preparation appointment takes 60 to 90 minutes. The fitting appointment takes around 30 to 45 minutes.
