Benefits of a dental crown
Restores tooth function: Strengthen and protect a weakened or damaged tooth.
Improves appearance: Enhance the look of discoloured or misaligned teeth.
It is a long-lasting solution: With proper care, crowns can last for many years.
Aftercare
After your crown is placed, you might experience some initial sensitivity or discomfort, which is normal. This should subside within a few days. Proper brushing and flossing, along with regular dental check-ups, will help ensure the longevity of your crown.
Alternative treatments
If a crown is not suitable, other treatments may be recommended, such as fillings for minor cavities and damage. Fillings can restore the tooth without the need for a crown.
We take the welfare of our patients extremely seriously, and we will always make clinical decisions that put your long-term medical well-being first.

During the first appointment, your dentist will clean and reshape the affected tooth. An impression of your tooth is taken to create a custom-fit crown, and a temporary crown will be placed.
On your second visit, your dentist will remove the temporary crown, ensure the fit and colour of the permanent crown, and secure it in place.
