Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dental crown?

A dental crown is a cap that covers and protects a damaged tooth. It restores the shape, size, strength, and appearance of the tooth, fitting over the entire visible portion above the gum line.

When do I need a crown?

Crowns are needed for teeth with large fillings, after root canal treatment, for cracked or weakened teeth, to improve appearance of discoloured teeth, or to support a dental bridge.

What is the difference between zirconia and porcelain crowns?

Zirconia crowns are extremely strong and durable, ideal for back teeth. E-max porcelain crowns offer superior aesthetics with excellent translucency, ideal for front teeth. Both look natural.

How long do dental crowns last?

With proper care, dental crowns typically last 10-15 years, and often much longer. Zirconia crowns are particularly durable and resistant to chipping.

Is getting a crown painful?

No, the procedure is done under local anaesthesia so you feel no pain. You may have some sensitivity for a few days after, which is normal.
