Cosmetic Crowns
Restore Strength, Function & Natural Beauty to Your Smile
At Bloxdent Smiles, we believe every patient deserves a smile that feels healthy, functions comfortably, and looks beautifully natural. Our pure porcelain cosmetic crowns are designed to do exactly that—restoring damaged or weakened teeth with lifelike results that blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
What Are Cosmetic Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made protective shell that covers the visible part of a tooth. Crowns are used to strengthen compromised teeth, restore function, and improve aesthetics.
While older crowns were often made from metal or silver-coloured materials, modern dentistry allows the creation of beautiful porcelain crowns that are strong, durable, and virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
When Do You Need a Crown?
You may benefit from a cosmetic porcelain crown if you have:
- A cracked or weakened tooth
Significant wear due to grinding - A tooth that has undergone root canal treatment
- A misshaped or discoloured tooth you want to improve aesthetically
Crowns are a versatile solution for restoring both function and beauty.
Why We Use Pure Porcelain Crowns
At Bloxdent Smiles, we choose pure porcelain for our cosmetic crowns because it offers unmatched aesthetic quality and excellent biocompatibility.
Benefits of Pure Porcelain Crowns:
- Exceptionally Natural Appearance
Porcelain reflects light in the same way as natural enamel, giving each crown a realistic translucency and brightness. - Metal-Free & Biocompatible
No metal means no grey lines near the gumline and no risk of metal allergies or reactions. - Seamless Colour Matching
Porcelain can be precisely shade-matched to your existing teeth for a harmonious, beautiful result. - Durable & Long-Lasting
Modern porcelain ceramics are incredibly strong—perfect for restoring chewing and biting function safely. - Minimally Invasive Preparation
Thanks to advances in ceramic materials, we can often preserve more of your natural tooth. - A heavily filled or broken tooth
Our Craftsmanship: What Makes Bloxdent Crowns Stand Out
A crown is only as good as the hands that create it. At Bloxdent Smiles, we work with highly skilled dental technicians who specialise in character-driven, natural-looking cosmetic restorations.
The Art Behind Our Crowns
- Hand-crafted detail to replicate natural grooves and textures
- Subtle shading and layering to mimic real enamel
- Individual characterisation so your crown doesn’t look flat or artificial
- Precision fit for comfort, longevity, and optimal function
These artistic touches are what elevate our crowns beyond standard restorations—helping your tooth blend perfectly into your smile, not stand out from it.
Why Choose a Porcelain Crown Over a Silver Crown?
Traditional silver or metal crowns, while functional, are often visible and can compromise the appearance of your smile. Porcelain crowns offer clear advantages:
| Feature | Porcelain Crown | Silver/Metal Crown |
|---|---|---|
| Aesthetics | Stunningly natural, tooth-coloured | Noticeable dark metal |
| Gumline appearance | No grey shadows | Often shows a dark line |
| Biocompatibility | Metal-free | Contains metal alloys |
| Custom detail | Hand-finished artistry | Basic uniform surface |
| Light reflection | Mimics natural enamel | Dull, opaque finish |

With proper care, porcelain crowns typically last 10–15 years, and often even longer. Good brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups keep them looking beautiful and functioning at their best.
When it comes to crowns, two of the finest materials available today are eMax (lithium disilicate ceramic) and zirconia – each with distinct strengths, and each selected based on your individual clinical needs. eMax is the material of choice for visible front teeth, renowned for its exceptional translucency and ability to mimic the natural depth and character of enamel — the result is a restoration that is genuinely indistinguishable from a natural tooth.
Zirconia is an extraordinarily strong ceramic, ideally suited to the posterior teeth where biting forces are greatest, and the preferred option for patients who clench or grind, or where a tooth has been significantly restored and demands maximum longevity. In select cases, we combine the structural integrity of zirconia with the aesthetic refinement of eMax to deliver a restoration that performs as beautifully as it looks. Both materials are entirely metal-free, biocompatible, and represent a significant advance on older metal-ceramic crowns. Your dentist will advise you on the finest material choice for your needs.
