Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover and protect a damaged, weakened, or heavily restored tooth.

They restore the tooth’s shape, strength, function, and appearance while blending naturally with your smile.

The process typically involves:

  1. Preparing the tooth and removing any decay.
  2. Taking digital or traditional impressions.
  3. Placing a temporary crown.
  4. Cementing the custom-made permanent crown.

Why might I need a dental crown?

A dental crown may be recommended to:

  • Protect a weak or cracked tooth.
  • Restore a broken or worn-down tooth.
  • Cover a large filling.
  • Strengthen a tooth after root canal treatment.
  • Improve the appearance of misshapen or discoloured teeth.
  • Support a dental bridge or cover a dental implant.

What materials are dental crowns made from?

Dental crowns can be made from:

  • Porcelain or ceramic – natural-looking and ideal for front teeth.
  • Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) – combines strength and aesthetics.
  • Metal or gold alloys – extremely durable, often used for back teeth.
  • Zirconia – strong, long-lasting, and highly aesthetic.

Your dentist will help choose the best material for your needs.
