What are dental crowns?
A dental crown is a custom‑made cover that fits over a tooth, restoring its shape, strength and appearance. Modern ceramic and porcelain crowns are carefully colour‑matched to your other teeth, so they look and feel very natural.
Whether you call it a dental crown, tooth crown or dental cap, the aim is the same – to restore strength and appearance while preserving as much natural tooth as possible.
Crowns are often recommended after root canal treatment, to protect teeth that have fractured, or to improve the appearance of heavily restored front teeth. They can be used on single teeth, as part of a bridge or on top of dental implants.

What are dental bridges?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to neighbouring natural teeth or dental implants. The supporting teeth are fitted with crowns, and the replacement tooth (or teeth) is joined to these crowns to “bridge” the gap.
Bridges can be a good option if you have a small space from one or two missing teeth and prefer a fixed solution instead of a removable denture. They help restore chewing function, stop neighbouring teeth drifting and improve the overall appearance of your smile.
Our dental crown and bridge process
We follow a clear, step‑by‑step approach so you know what to expect.
Consultation and planning
We assess the tooth or gap, take digital X‑rays where needed and discuss whether a dental crown, bridge, onlay, implant or another option is the best solution for you.
Tooth preparation and temporary restoration
For crowns and traditional bridges, the supporting teeth are gently reshaped to make space for the restoration and any decay or old filling material is removed. We then take a 3D scan or impressions and place a temporary crown or bridge while your permanent restoration is crafted.
Custom crown / bridge design
Our trusted dental labs create your ceramic or porcelain crowns and bridge units to match the colour and contour of your surrounding teeth, supporting comfortable chewing and a natural smile line.
Fit and final adjustments
At your second visit we remove the temporary restoration, try in the new crown or bridge and make fine adjustments before bonding it securely in place. We check your bite carefully and share advice on caring for your new restoration.

FAQs about dental crowns and bridges
Are crowns only used after root canal treatment?
No. Crowns are commonly placed after root canal to protect a weakened tooth, but they are also used for cracked teeth, large failing fillings, worn teeth and cosmetic improvements.
What is the difference between a crown and a dental cap?
“Dental cap” or “tooth cap” is simply another way of describing a dental crown – they refer to the same type of restoration.
Will my crown or bridge look natural?
We use tooth‑coloured ceramic and porcelain crowns and bridge units, carefully matched to your surrounding teeth and shaped to suit your bite, so most people will not be able to tell which teeth are restored.
How long do dental crowns and bridges last?
With good brushing, flossing and regular check‑ups, many crowns and bridges last 10–15 years or longer, although this varies depending on your bite, habits and overall oral health.
Do you provide dental crowns for patients outside Thames Ditton?
Yes. Patients visit Thames Dental & Skin for dental crowns in Surrey, including dental crowns Kingston, Esher dental crowns and treatment for patients from Surbiton, Molesey and Walton‑on‑Thames, as well as the wider Thames Ditton area.
