When a crown is needed
When a tooth has lost so much structure that a filling no longer holds it: large fractures, extensive decay, or root-treated teeth left brittle. The crown covers the whole tooth and stops it splitting.
How many appointments
Preparation and scanning at one, fitting the definitive crown at another, and a review to check the bite afterwards. With everything at the same clinic, those fine adjustments do not mean a journey, which is when people tend to let them slide.

Zirconia or porcelain: biocompatible, without the dark gumline of old crowns.
-

Colour and shape designed to fit you, not a standard mould.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions about this treatment
01 Crown or veneer?
A veneer covers only the visible face and keeps more of the healthy tooth: it's the option when the problem is cosmetic and the tooth is healthy. A crown covers the whole tooth and is used when there is significant damage, a previous root canal or a fracture.
02 What are crowns made of?
We work metal-free: monolithic zirconia or porcelain, depending on the case. Both are biocompatible and natural-looking.
03 How long does a dental crown last?
With proper hygiene and periodic check-ups, many years. Wear from uncontrolled bruxism is the most common reason its lifespan shortens.
04 Does preparing the tooth hurt?
It's done under local anaesthetic. Recovery is usually mild, with some sensitivity in the first few days.
