Your Porcelain Crowns Journey
1. Consultation for Dental Crowns
The initial stage in your crown treatment journey with us at 19 Wimpole St Dental Practice in Marylebone will always be a thorough consultation. These consultations provide our expert dentist with the opportunity to comprehensively view your dental history, assess your smile, and openly discuss your proposed crown treatment in advance – all with absolutely no commitment required.
2. Treatment
Porcelain crowns require some gentle preparation (filing) of the tooth on all sides, to ensure a perfect fit, resulting in a seamless smile. At our Marylebone dentist, an anaesthetic is offered to help manage any discomfort during the process. The bonding material is used to adhere to the crown, which is perfectly shaped to your tooth. In some cases, a temporary crown may be needed, which we can discuss with you at the relevant time.
3. Aftercare
At our dental practice in Marylebone, we’re committed to dental excellence – so in our minds, the treatment doesn’t end when we put down our tools. With crowns, you should be able to have the same diet as before, but may need to avoid hard, chewy foods at first. Crowns will need replacing in the future, but thanks to the durable porcelain material, they last many years.

about porcelain crowns at 19 Wimpole Street Dental Practice
Porcelain crowns are custom-made restorations designed to cover and protect damaged, weakened, or heavily filled teeth. They act as a protective “cap” that restores the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance. Porcelain crowns are popular because they closely mimic the natural look and translucency of real teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile for a beautiful, natural finish.
A porcelain crown may be recommended if a tooth is cracked, worn down, has a large filling, or has undergone root canal treatment. They are also used to improve the appearance of misshapen or discoloured teeth. By fully encasing the visible part of the tooth, a crown provides strength and stability, helping to prevent further damage and restore full function for chewing and speaking.
With proper care, porcelain crowns can last 10–15 years or even longer. Their longevity depends on factors such as your oral hygiene, diet, and habits like teeth grinding or nail-biting. Regular dental check-ups and good brushing and flossing routines are essential to maintain both the crown and the underlying tooth structure. Over time, natural wear or gum changes may mean your crown needs replacement or adjustment.
Getting a porcelain crown typically involves two visits. During the first visit, your dentist prepares the tooth by removing any decay or old restorations and reshaping it to fit the crown. A digital scan or impression is then taken to create your custom-made crown. At the second appointment, the crown is precisely fitted, colour-matched, and permanently bonded to your tooth, restoring your smile’s function and appearance.
Porcelain crowns don’t require any special maintenance beyond a good daily oral hygiene routine. Brushing twice a day, flossing regularly, and attending routine dental check-ups will help keep your crown and surrounding teeth healthy. Although porcelain is stain-resistant, it’s still best to limit habits that can affect your crown, such as biting hard foods, chewing ice, or using your teeth to open packaging.
