Each type has its unique benefits, and your choice will depend on various factors, including the location of the tooth and aesthetic considerations.

A common treatment process for a Dental Crown
1. Consultation and Evaluation
We assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and recommend the best crown type.
2. Preparation and Measurement
The tooth is reshaped to ensure a precise fit, and a mould or scan is taken of the tooth and surrounding area. A tooth colour to match is then selected.
3. Temporary Crown Fabrication
A temporary crown is made and fitted while your custom crown is being made.
4. Permanent Crown manufactured and placed
The permanent crown is designed, made then placed. May need some adjustments and finally cemented in place.
5. Follow-Up
We schedule follow-up visits to ensure your comfort and satisfaction.

FAQs
We address common concerns to help you understand the process and maintenance of dental crowns:
How long do dental crowns last?
Dental crowns typically last 5 to 15 years, but with proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups, their lifespan can extend further. Avoiding hard foods and using teeth as tools also helps prolong their durability.
Will the crown match the colour of my other teeth?
Yes, dental crowns are designed to match the natural colour of your existing teeth for a seamless appearance. Porcelain or ceramic crowns are particularly effective for colour matching.
Can I eat normally with a dental crown?
You can eat normally with a dental crown after a brief initial adjustment period. It’s advisable to start with softer foods and avoid very hard or sticky foods at first.
How do I care for my crown?
Caring for a dental crown involves regular brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash, similar to natural teeth care. Regular dental check-ups are important for maintaining a crown and oral health. Avoid grinding or clenching your teeth to protect the crown.
