A Damaged Or Weakened Tooth Doesn’t Mean You Have To Lose Your Natural Smile…
If you’ve got a broken, weak, or worn-down tooth, you might be worried that it’s beyond saving.
The good news is: that’s not always the case.
A dental crown is a strong, custom-made cover that fits over your existing tooth, giving it back its shape, strength, and function.
(So you can eat, speak, and smile just like before!)
Also known as a ‘cap,’ a crown protects and reinforces your tooth, preventing further damage and blending in seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
Whether your tooth has been affected by decay, a large filling, or an injury, a crown keeps it secure and looking great for years to come.
What Is A Crown Made From?
Crowns can be made from different materials, depending on your needs, preferences, & budget:
Porcelain Crowns
Natural-looking and tooth-coloured, ideal for front teeth or cosmetic improvements where appearance matters most.
Gold Crowns
Exceptionally strong and durable, perfect for back teeth that need extra support for chewing and grinding.
A Combination
A blend of strength and aesthetics, providing durability while maintaining a natural-looking appearance.
Additional Reasons To Consider A Crown
A dental crown isn’t just for damaged or weakened teeth. It can also be used to improve appearance, strengthen a treated tooth, or support other dental work.
You might benefit from a crown if:
You have discoloured or uneven fillings, and want to give the tooth a smoother, more natural look
You’ve had a root canal and want to strengthen and protect the tooth to prevent cracks or breakage
You need support for a bridge or denture to improve stability, comfort, and longevity
Frequently Asked Questions
Does getting a crown hurt?
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Some mild soreness after the procedure is normal but temporary.
How long do crowns last?
With proper care, a well-made crown can last 10-15 years or more.
Can I eat normally with a crown?
Yes! A crown restores full chewing ability, but avoid very hard or sticky foods that could loosen or damage it, especially in the first few days after placement.
Will my crown look natural?
Yes, porcelain crowns are custom-matched to your natural tooth colour for a seamless look.
What’s the difference between a crown and a veneer?
A crown covers the entire tooth, while a veneer only covers the front surface. Crowns are typically used for strength and function, while veneers are more for cosmetic improvements.
