Dental Crowns and Bridges in Dagenham
Restore Your Smile with Dental Crowns & Bridges
At Becontree Dental Studio, we offer a range of dental crowns in Dagenham to restore damaged, weakened or heavily filled teeth.
Our crown options include porcelain, zirconia, E.max, precious metal and non-precious metal crowns. Each material offers different advantages in terms of appearance, strength, durability and cost.
Your dentist will assess your tooth and discuss the most suitable material based on its position, your bite, aesthetic preferences and clinical requirements.
Dental Crowns at Becontree Dental Studio
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fits over a prepared tooth to help restore its shape, strength and appearance. Crowns may be recommended for broken, heavily filled or weakened teeth, including some teeth following root canal treatment.
At Becontree Dental Studio, we offer several crown materials. Your dentist will explain the benefits and limitations of each option and recommend a suitable restoration based on your clinical needs.
1. Porcelain Crowns
Tooth-coloured crowns designed to provide a natural appearance. Different porcelain-based restorations may be recommended depending on the tooth and its functional requirements.
2. Zirconia Crowns
Strong, tooth-coloured ceramic restorations suitable for many front and back teeth, depending on the clinical situation.
3. E.max Crowns
Made from lithium disilicate glass-ceramic, E.max crowns offer excellent translucency and natural-looking aesthetics, making them particularly useful where appearance is important.
4. Precious Metal Crowns
Crowns made from dental alloys containing precious metals, such as gold or palladium. They can provide durable restorations, particularly for back teeth.
5. Non-Precious Metal Crowns
Crowns made from base-metal dental alloys, such as cobalt-chromium. They provide strength and durability, although their metallic appearance may be less suitable for visible teeth.
Dental Bridges for Missing Teeth
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It can help restore chewing function and improve the appearance of your smile.
Traditional bridges are supported by neighbouring teeth, while other bridge designs may be appropriate in certain situations. Your dentist will assess the health of the surrounding teeth and gums before recommending treatment.
We can also discuss alternative tooth replacement options, including dental implants and dentures, to help you make an informed decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental crowns last?
With appropriate care, dental crowns can last for many years. Their lifespan depends on oral hygiene, bite forces, the supporting tooth and regular dental reviews.
Is getting a dental crown painful?
Tooth preparation is usually carried out under local anaesthetic to minimise discomfort. Some temporary sensitivity may occur afterwards.
What is the difference between a crown and a bridge?
A crown covers an existing tooth, while a bridge replaces one or more missing teeth using suitable supporting teeth or other supports.
What is the difference between E.max and zirconia crowns?
E.max is a lithium disilicate glass-ceramic often selected for its natural translucency. Zirconia is a strong ceramic that can be useful in areas exposed to higher biting forces. The best choice depends on the individual tooth and clinical requirements.
Are metal crowns still available?
Yes. We offer precious and non-precious metal crown options. Your dentist can discuss the appearance, suitability and cost of each material.
Can I have a bridge instead of an implant?
A bridge may be a suitable alternative to an implant for some patients. Your dentist will assess your oral health and explain the benefits and limitations of each option.
