Onlays & Crowns in East Sussex

Dental crowns and onlays are highly effective restorative treatments used to repair and strengthen damaged teeth. When a tooth has been weakened by decay, fracture, large fillings, or significant wear, a custom-made restoration can help restore its strength, function, and appearance.

An onlay is a conservative restoration that covers and protects the damaged areas of a tooth while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. A crown provides more extensive coverage by encasing the entire visible portion of the tooth above the gum line, making it an ideal option for teeth that require additional support and protection.

At our Robertsbridge dental practice, we use advanced iTero® digital scanning technology to capture highly accurate digital impressions of your teeth. This modern approach eliminates the need for traditional impression materials in most cases, providing a more comfortable patient experience while allowing for exceptional precision in the design and fit of your restoration.

We create our crowns and onlays using premium materials, such as Emax ® and multilayered zirconia, one of the most advanced ceramic materials available in modern dentistry. Unlike traditional zirconia, multilayered zirconia is manufactured with gradual transitions in shade, translucency, and strength throughout the restoration. This allows it to more closely replicate the natural appearance of tooth enamel and dentine, creating a restoration that blends seamlessly with your smile. In addition to its aesthetic benefits, zirconia offers exceptional durability, wear resistance, and biocompatibility, making it an excellent choice for both front and back teeth.

Our goal is to restore the health, strength, and appearance of your teeth with restorations that look natural, feel comfortable, and are built to withstand the demands of everyday life.
