FAQs

What is a crown?

Crowns are a popular way to repair damaged or broken teeth. They work almost like a ‘cap’ for the existing natural tooth, sitting over them and kept in place normally via the neighbouring healthy teeth. They are designed to look as much like your natural teeth as possible and will blend in seamlessly with the rest of your mouth.

What are crowns made of?

Crowns can be made of a variety of different materials. Most commonly they are made from porcelain, composite resin, or a combination of porcelain and metal.

Why do I need a crown?

Crowns are used to fix and repair broken and damaged teeth. Your tooth or teeth may have become damaged as a result of an accident or injury, due to general wear and tear that has been left untreated, or as a result of untreated tooth decay. Crowns are also often used in conjunction with other treatments, such as root canal treatment.

How long do crowns last?

Crowns are highly durable, although this does depend on or vary according to how well they’re taken care of by the patient as well as which materials are used in their application. We normally use highly aesthetic E-max porcelain or zirconia crowns, which can fit in practically seamlessly with the rest of the mouth. Alternatively, different materials such as metal or composite can be used when appropriate.
