Porcelain Dental Crowns and Onlays in Canterbury |

Restorative dental treatments

We are pleased to offer modern restorative dental treatments to our patients. Whether your tooth requires repair for a small chip or more significant damage, our team will provide treatment tailored to your individual clinical needs.

Following the procedure, you will receive comprehensive aftercare guidance to assist you in maintaining the long-term health and appearance of your restoration. We are committed to providing a high standard of care to support your dental health.

Restoring function and appearance

With a range of restorative options available, we can assist in determining a solution suitable for your clinical needs. Our treatments consist of inlays, onlays, and crowns, as well as dental fillings for when tooth structure requires restoration.

Inlays and onlays are typically used to repair cavities and minor fractures, while dental crowns (available in materials such as porcelain and gold) are generally indicated for more significant structural damage. Whatever treatment is required, we aim to design restorations that blend with your existing teeth to support a natural appearance.

Your comfort is our priority

In addition to being qualified practitioners, our dentists strive to make you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive. We take the time to sit with you, discuss your concerns, outline your dental goals, and explain the treatment options available.

Following an initial consultation, we will create a tailored treatment plan to guide you through the process. We are dedicated to providing a high standard of dental treatment and service to support your long-term oral health.

There are several types of dental crowns available to patients, varying in terms of cost, durability and appearance. Some of the most common types include:

Gold tooth crown: made from a combination of copper and other metals, these crowns are strong and durable but more noticeable than tooth-coloured crowns.
Porcelain crown: the industry standard, porcelain crowns can be customised to match the surrounding teeth and provide a natural look.
Zirconia crown: made from zirconium, these crowns combine the strength of metal with the aesthetic qualities of porcelain crowns.

Fitting a crown is a very safe dental procedure, with an anaesthetic typically administered to the patient to numb the pain. There are some complications linked to allergic reactions and tooth infections, and patients should expect some mild sensitivity in the days after the procedure. Side effects can be safely managed by following your aftercare guide.

Because porcelain crowns are tooth-coloured and perfectly fit cracks in the teeth, they both feel and look like normal teeth. You may notice some mild sensitivity in the days after the crown tooth has been fitted, but this soon subsides. Before long, you won’t even notice the crown is there.
