DENTAL CROWNS

Crowns fix and protect troublesome teeth.

What are dental crowns?

Dental crowns are the caps that are placed on top of damaged teeth to protect and restore structures that have lost their natural size and strength. They provide a smart and discreet way of restoring function and covering up defects such as chips, cracks, decay, and large fillings. Crowns can also be used to create more consistent shapes or correct uneven spacing for a better overall aesthetic.

Why might I need a dental crown?

If you have a tooth with considerable decay, a large filling, a cracked or fractured tooth, or if you’ve had a root canal, you might need a dental crown. Dental crowns can also be applied for aesthetic reasons to make teeth that are malformed or discoloured look better.

How long do crowns last?

The lifespan of a dental crown can vary depending on several factors, including oral hygiene practices, bite forces and habits. On average, dental crowns can last between 10 and 15 years, or even longer with proper care and regular dental check-ups.

Are dental crowns noticeable?

Modern dental crowns are designed to closely match the colour and appearance of your natural teeth, making them blend seamlessly into your smile. We strive to create crowns that are virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth, resulting in a natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing result.
