Crowns and Bridges
While we will always do our utmost to save a tooth, tooth loss is sometimes unavoidable. If your tooth becomes so decayed that a filling is unable to rectify the situation, crowns and bridges may be the best next step.
A crown is a small, tooth-shaped cap that your dentist will fix over the noticeable part of your tooth. They will then attach a bridge to the natural teeth or implants surrounding the gap and place the replacement tooth over the crown.
CROWNS Faqs
What is a dental crown?
A crown is a protective cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores strength, shape, and appearance while preventing further deterioration.
How long do dental crowns last?
Most crowns last 10–15 years, but good oral hygiene and routine dental visits can extend their lifespan significantly.
What materials are dental crowns made from?
Crowns can be made from porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, metal, or a combination of materials. Your dentist will recommend the best option based on strength, aesthetics, and the tooth’s position.
Does getting a crown hurt?
No. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable. Most patients feel minimal sensitivity afterwards, which settles quickly.
