Frequently
Asked
Questions

View All
We know that choosing a dental crown raises important questions. Below are some of the most common queries we receive from patients, answered clearly to help you make an informed decision.
What is a dental crown and why might I need one?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and function - commonly used after a large filling, root canal, or to protect a cracked or broken tooth.

How long does a dental crown last?

With good care, dental crowns typically last between 10 and 15 years. Their lifespan depends on oral hygiene, tooth wear, and the materials used.

Will the crown look natural?

Yes. Each crown is matched to the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth. Materials such as porcelain or ceramic provide a realistic appearance that blends seamlessly with your smile.

Is the dental crown procedure painful?

The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn’t feel pain during treatment. Some sensitivity may occur afterwards, but it usually settles quickly.

Can a dental crown be replaced if it’s damaged?

Yes. If a crown becomes loose, cracked, or worn, we can assess and replace it. Early intervention helps protect the underlying tooth and prevent further issues.

The Process

Pre-Treatment

Before treatment, we carry out a detailed assessment of your tooth. This includes checking for decay or damage, discussing your treatment options, and taking precise measurements and scans to ensure your crown fits comfortably and functions properly.

Treatment

The dental crown procedure usually involves two visits. During the first, we prepare the tooth and take a scan. A temporary crown is fitted while your custom crown is created. At your second visit, we fit and adjust the permanent crown for a secure, natural finish.

Post-Treatment

After your crown is fitted, you may experience mild sensitivity or discomfort, which typically improves within a few days. Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental check-ups will help extend the life of your crown and keep your tooth healthy.

Sides Effects & Risks

As with any dental procedure, there are some risks involved. These may include temporary sensitivity, discomfort, or, in rare cases, the crown becoming loose. We take every precaution to minimise these risks and support you throughout your treatment journey.

Leaving a damaged tooth untreated can lead to bigger problems

Delaying treatment may result in further tooth damage, infection, or even tooth loss. A dental crown helps protect and restore your tooth before complications develop.
