At DRKS, like numerous other dental establishments, our crowns are typically crafted from precious metals like gold. However, alternatives like Zirconia and porcelain are also available. The demand for porcelain crowns has surged owing to their capacity to provide a natural finish. They can be color-matched to the patient's existing teeth, and owing to its durability, porcelain effectively replicates the texture of a natural tooth.

Within our facility, there are circumstances where an onlay or even veneers might serve as better options compared to dental crowns. Since crown placements involve the removal of sections of the natural tooth, at DRKS, our priority is always to propose a less invasive alternative when feasible and beneficial for the patient. You can rely on us to discuss all potential options during your consultation, ensuring the most apt solution is chosen.

Opting for a dental cap at DRKS usually involves a couple of visits post the primary consultation. For the initial visit, local anesthesia ensures a pain-free experience, but we can also provide oral or inhalation sedation upon request. This session will involve the reshaping of the tooth and capturing impressions or digital scans, which are then dispatched to our partnered dental laboratories in Chiswick for the crown's fabrication.
