Reliable Restoration for a Natural Smile
Dental crowns provide a strong, lasting solution for damaged or weakened teeth. Custom-made to match the shape and colour of your natural teeth, they restore function while improving appearance. Whether protecting a tooth after treatment or enhancing its look, our crowns are crafted with care to blend seamlessly into your smile.
Understanding Dental Crowns
When a tooth is heavily filled or significantly damaged, a dental crown offers a reliable way to restore strength and appearance. Custom-made to blend with your natural teeth, our porcelain crowns reinforce the tooth while improving its look.
Encasing the entire tooth, a crown provides both protection and cosmetic enhancement. Once fitted, it restores function, maintains a natural-looking smile, and boosts confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How long do dental crowns last?
Dental crowns typically last between 5 and 15 years, though with good care, they can last even longer. Their durability depends on factors such as the material used, your oral hygiene routine, and the amount of wear and tear they experience.
2. Do dental crowns need special care?
Dental crowns don’t require any extra maintenance beyond your normal oral hygiene routine. Brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and attending routine dental check-ups will help keep them in good condition. To extend their lifespan, it’s best to avoid chewing on hard or sticky foods.
3. How is a dental crown placed?
Fitting a dental crown usually takes two appointments. First, the tooth is prepared by removing any decay or damage, and an impression is taken to create a custom crown. At the second visit, the permanent crown is carefully placed and secured onto the tooth.
4. Will teeth whitening treatments work on dental crowns?
Porcelain and ceramic crowns do not respond to whitening treatments. However, regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings can help maintain their appearance and prevent discolouration.
