Crown Implants
A custom-made cap that restores the shape, strength, and appearance of a damaged or weakened tooth.
What is Crown Implants?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap, typically made of porcelain, ceramic, or a metal alloy, that fully covers a damaged, weakened, or heavily decayed tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Your dentist first reshapes the tooth to make room for the crown, takes an impression or digital scan, and fits a temporary crown while your permanent one is crafted. Once ready, the custom crown is permanently cemented into place, matched to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth. This typically requires two visits, though some clinics offer same-day crowns using in-office milling technology.
Why is this procedure performed?
- A tooth significantly weakened by decay or a large filling
- A cracked or fractured tooth requiring reinforcement
- A tooth following root canal treatment that needs protection
- Covering a severely discoloured or misshapen tooth
- Supporting a dental bridge or covering a dental implant
How does this procedure help?
A crown restores full chewing function and protects a weakened tooth from further damage or fracture, often allowing you to keep a tooth that might otherwise need extraction. Modern crown materials are designed to look and feel like natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile. With proper care, a well-fitted crown can last fifteen years or longer, offering a durable, long-term solution.
