What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cover that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth. It’s used to protect the tooth, restore its shape, and bring back strength and function. Crowns are designed to look just like a real tooth – colour-matched, shaped to fit perfectly, and made to last.
Here's what crowns can do for you
- Restore damaged teeth – Teeth that are cracked, broken, or worn down can be reinforced and protected with a crown.
- Support large fillings – When there’s not much tooth left, a crown helps hold everything together and prevents further damage.
- Cover root canal-treated teeth – After root treatment, crowns protect the tooth and restore strength.
- Improve shape and appearance – Crowns can reshape uneven or misshapen teeth and match them to your natural smile.
- Hold a dental bridge in place – Crowns are often used to anchor bridges and fill spaces left by missing teeth.

Benefits of getting dental crowns
Dental crowns offer long-lasting protection, natural aesthetics, and used across both restorative and cosmetic dentistry.
Crowns are extremely strong and reliable, designed to handle the pressure of everyday chewing and biting.
They can be made from tooth-coloured ceramic or porcelain to blend seamlessly with your other teeth.
Modern crowns are digitally designed for precision – meaning better fit, fewer adjustments, and more comfort.
Used after root canal treatment, they keep the tooth protected for years to come.
They’re a great option if you want to improve the shape or appearance of a tooth while keeping it functional.

What does a dental crown appointment look like?
At your first appointment, we’ll assess your tooth and chat through your options. If a crown is the best choice, we’ll gently shape the tooth to make space, then take a digital scan or mould so your crown can be made just for you. In some cases, we’ll place a temporary crown while your final one is being made.
At your second visit, we’ll fit the crown – checking the fit, colour, and bite before bonding it into place. It’s all done with comfort in mind, and we’ll always take our time to make sure everything feels right. Some crowns can even be made on the same day, depending on the tooth and material used. You’ll leave with a tooth that looks and feels like new – strong, natural, and ready to go.
Aftercare: keeping your crown comfortable and long-lasting
- First 24–48 hours: if you had anaesthetic, wait until full feeling returns before eating. If a temporary crown is in place, avoid very sticky or hard foods on that side.
- Cleaning: brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and clean between teeth every day. We’ll advise the best floss or interdental brushes for your crown margins.
- If you grind/clench: a nightguard can protect your new crown and the rest of your teeth.
- When to call us: if the bite still feels “high” after a few days, if the crown feels loose, or if sensitivity persists.

FAQs
Here are some common questions patients ask about getting a dental crown.
How long do dental crowns last?
Most crowns last 10–15 years or longer with good care – brushing, flossing, and regular check-ups are key.
Does getting a crown hurt?
Not at all. We use local anaesthetic so the procedure is completely comfortable. Any soreness after is usually mild and short-lived.
What are crowns made from?
We use materials like porcelain, ceramic, or zirconia. These are durable and can be colour-matched to your natural teeth.
Can crowns be used on front teeth?
Yes! We design front tooth crowns to look natural and blend in beautifully with your smile.
Are crowns covered by dental plans or finance?
We offer 0% finance options, and if you’re part of a dental plan, you may benefit from a discount – get in touch to find out more.
