Dental Crowns

Crowns are synthetic caps used to restore and protect fractured or newly restored teeth (teeth with big fillings). Crowns can also be used for cosmetic purposes such as straightening teeth or closing spaces.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that completely covers a tooth, restoring its shape, size, and appearance. Crowns protect damaged teeth, strengthen weak ones, and can also top a dental implant to replace a missing tooth.

You may need a crown if you have:

A tooth that is cracked, chipped, or fractured
A tooth weakened by decay or a large filling
A tooth that has undergone root canal treatment
A misshapen or severely discoloured tooth
A missing tooth being restored with a dental implant

Procedure for Dental Crowns

Consultation & Exam

We will evaluate the tooth with a thorough exam and digital X-rays to determine if a crown is the best option.

Tooth Preparation

The tooth is gently reshaped to make room for the crown. If needed, the tooth may be built up with filling material. A temporary crown is placed while your permanent one is being made.

Custom Fabrication

Your crown is designed using impressions or digital scans. Our dental lab crafts your crown from strong, natural-looking materials to ensure an excellent fit and appearance.

Final Placement

At your next visit, the permanent crown is fitted, adjusted, and securely cemented in place. Your bite and comfort will be checked to make sure everything feels right.

Types of Crown for Teeth

Different materials are available depending on your needs, tooth location, and cosmetic goals:

All-Ceramic Crowns: Highly aesthetic and ideal for front teeth, which are the easiest to see.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns: Strong and natural-looking, but may show a thin metal line.
Metal Alloy Crowns: Extremely durable, often used for back teeth. They are metallic in colour.
All-Resin Crowns: More affordable but less durable than other options.
Zirconia Crowns: Strong, natural-looking, and resistant to wear. They are a popular modern choice.

Why might I need a dental crown?

Common reasons include:

Tooth decay or large fillings
Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
After a root canal treatment
To improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth
To support a dental bridge

How is a dental crown placed?

The procedure usually takes two visits:

Preparation – The tooth is shaped and impressions are taken.
Placement – A custom crown is fabricated and then permanently cemented. Temporary crowns may be used in the meantime.

Are dental crowns painful?

No—local anesthesia ensures comfort during the procedure. Some mild sensitivity may occur after placement, but this usually resolves within a few days.

How long do dental crowns last?

With proper care, dental crowns can last 10–15 years or longer. Longevity depends on oral hygiene, bite habits, and the material used for the crown.

How do I care for a dental crown?

Caring for a crown is similar to natural teeth:

Brush twice daily and floss once daily
Avoid biting very hard objects
Attend regular dental check-ups and cleanings

Good oral hygiene prevents decay at the crown margins and ensures long-term success.

Can dental crowns improve my smile?

Yes. Crowns not only protect and strengthen teeth but also improve their shape, color, and overall appearance, giving you a confident, natural-looking smile.
