Specifications
Details

A dental crown is a cap that covers and protects a damaged, broken, or heavily filled tooth. It helps restore the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance so you can chew and smile confidently again.

When is a Crown Needed?

Crowns are recommended when:

  • A tooth is badly decayed or broken

  • After root canal treatment to strengthen the tooth

  • A large filling has weakened the tooth

  • To improve the appearance of a discoloured or misshapen tooth

  • To support a dental bridge or cover an implant

     

    Types of Crowns Available:

  • Porcelain: Looks very natural, great for front teeth.

  • Zirconia: Very strong and aesthetic.

  • Metal/Gold Alloy: Durable and long-lasting (less visible for back teeth).

  • Benefits of Dental Crowns:

    ✅ Restores function for chewing and speaking
    ✅ Protects the remaining tooth structure
    ✅ Looks and feels like a natural tooth
    ✅ Long-lasting with proper care

  • Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM): Combines strength and appearance.
