Dental Crowns
Teeth that have been chipped or cracked need to be repaired as soon as is possible. Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment need to be protected. Teeth that have sustained some sort of trauma need to be protected from further decay or damage. This is where a tooth crown comes in.
Dental crowns have become the standard for the protection of repaired teeth. They are durable, offer a wholly natural look, and will help to keep you smiling for many good years to come.
What are crowns?
Get results you love
A dental crown is a custom tooth cap. It simply fits over the top of a tooth that has suffered from severe decay or damage. Perhaps you have teeth that are misshapen? A tooth crown can give you that even and straight smile that you are looking for.
Crowns offer protection and strength for those damaged teeth. They allow for normal function to be restored.
Today’s high-tech crown solutions offer results that are virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
What are crowns best used for?
Crowns are the ideal choice for providing protection to teeth that have undergone significant restoration and repair. They are best used for any tooth that has been chipped, cracked, or repaired. Root canal treatments are a great way to preserve a natural tooth, but they may result in significant loss of the tooth structure. Placing a tooth cap over the repaired tooth will offer protection and restore functionality.
A front tooth crown will offer a wholly natural look. Whether it’s used to cover a crooked or misshapen tooth or to disguise a chipped tooth.
What are the types of crowns available?
There are several types of dental crowns available. When you are getting a crown on a tooth, the type of crown that you get will be based upon the location of the crown and the individual needs of each patient.
-
The most commonly used crown is the porcelain fused to metal crown. These are often fitted onto molars, as they are a strong crown that can withstand the chewing force that’s placed on molars.
-
The crown consists of a metal base which is then fused to porcelain. This gives it that natural look that patients are after, while still offering the strength that patients need.
-
There are metal free options available such as zirconia and Emax crowns.
-
They are mainly used to repair front teeth, but zirconia is also a strong alternative to porcelain fused to metal crowns to restore molar teeth.
It typically takes two appointments for a crown to be placed. It’s important to note that is there is damage to the tooth it should be repaired prior to the placement of the crown. Chipped tooth repair or cracked tooth repair do not typically take very long. Once the teeth have been repaired then an impression of the tooth will be made. These impressions will help to ensure that the crown keeps your bite as comfortable and as natural as is possible.Once the impressions are sent off to the laboratory, the crown will be made.
A temporary crown is often set in place to protect the tooth. They are not meant to be permanent and will not offer the durability of the permanent crown.Once the permanent crown has been made, you’ll return to the dentist chair to have it fitted. Small adjustments might be made in order to ensure a comfortable bite. Once both you and your dentist feel comfortable with the crown placement, it will be bonded in place.
There should be little to no pain during the procedure, but you can ask for a numbing agent if you feel uncomfortable.
Crowns are used as a means of protecting damaged or restored teeth. There are few disadvantages to getting crowns. They offer a way to restore your smile while also protecting your healthy teeth from further decay and damage.
Most patients find that there are only advantages to be had when they get a tooth crown. Not only will the crown ensure protection for the tooth, but it’ll restore a bite that may be been off due to a reluctance to chew on that side of the mouth.
Crowns can last a lifetime with proper care. They can sustain damage just like natural teeth can. If your crown is cracked or loosened, it’s important that you make an appointment with the clinic to get it repaired. This will help to avoid the potential for further damage to your natural tooth.

I have been attending Crown Dental for over a year for general dentistry care, and most recently, the fitting of a Post and Core and Crown, under the excellent professional care of Dr. Erika Barta, Principal Dentist. Dr Erika is very thorough, meticulous and experienced, and explains each stage of the treatment at each visit, having first carried out a detailed examination (including X-Ray, where necessary), and explaining the treatment required. Her primary focus is on conservation and restoring the health and functioning of the teeth at minimum cost, and she does not suggest unnecessary additional treatment. She uses high quality and health-compatible dental materials and components in the treatment of her patients. The clinic is equipped with sophisticated and high-tech equipment. The clinic is bright and very hygienic, with extra Covid measures being adopted to provide maximum protection to patients and staff. Dr Erika's fees are very competitive. I highly recommend Dr Erika for her high quality, professional and caring treatment of her patients, where the patient feels reassured and completely at ease.

I was very lucky to come across Crown Dental 8 years ago. While other dentists were offering extremely complicated and unaffordable treatments, Erika came up with a much simpler and affordable solution to my issues. I have been going to Crown Dental all these years and have got all my dental work done there: crowns, extractions, cleanings and check-ups... I would definitely recommend Erika and her team in Crown Dental to anyone looking for a top quality, reliable and friendly dentist.

Getting an Invisalign treatment done here. Erika and her assistant are extremely nice people, not once did I ever feel pressured into forking out lots of money like at other dentists. I would 100% recommend family and friends to at least have a check up here and you'll see that it's a positive and professional experience all round.

Done, two teeth filling here. Second one they had to redo because of their fault. During that second time I had to ask to stop drilling several times, because my jaw started uncontrollable spasms. After this rework pain became unstoppable and I had to remove nerves during vacation (spent 3 days for that). That doctor admitted that both fillings were made without the cofferdam, for cavities under them to grow and need to be redone. Also they've missed a big smelly cavity next to that tooth even while having 3!!! X-rays of that area. I don't recommend doing fillings there, because you will need to return soon for their upsale of veneer or expensive nerve removal. Also they are not cheap by any means.

I was always very conscious of my teeth, never showed them on pictures. It was the best decision of my life to get braces at Crown Dental. I can honestly say it changed my life. I can't stop smiling, it boosted my confidence, I feel like a different person. Thank you dr. Laura for changing my life.
