About the Treatment
Dental crowns, also known as caps, are restorative treatments used to completely encase damaged, decayed, or aesthetically unpleasing teeth. Crowns are designed to restore the tooth's original shape, size, strength, and appearance. They can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination, each offering different benefits.
The procedure typically involves reshaping the affected tooth to accommodate the crown, taking an impression for a custom fit, and then placing a temporary crown while the permanent one is being made. Once the permanent crown is ready, it is cemented onto the prepared tooth. Crowns not only protect and strengthen weakened teeth but also improve the overall appearance of your smile by providing a natural-looking, durable solution.
No, dental crowns cannot be whitened with traditional teeth whitening methods. If a crown becomes discoloured or mismatched with surrounding teeth, it may need to be replaced.
Crowns typically last up to 10+ years depending on the
material used and oral care.
The procedure is generally not painful and is
done under local anaesthesia.
Yes, crowns can be replaced if they become damaged or worn, though the underlying tooth may need to be evaluated for its suitability.
