A dental crown is a tooth-shaped ‘cap’ that is placed over a damaged or worn tooth to improve its strength, function, and aesthetic appearance. It can be fabricated from a variety of materials, including porcelain and ceramic.
A dental crown or ‘cap’ has many uses but is typically recommended to save a compromised, but viable tooth.
It may be used to:
Depending on what tooth is being crowned and whether the reason is more aesthetic or functional, our dentists will recommend the best crown material for you, with porcelain or ceramic being the most frequently used materials.
We can also print our own crowns in-house using our 3-D SprintRay printer.
We're proud to have helped multiple patients restore their smiles and confidence with a combination of restorative dental treatments such as crowns, veneers and onlays featured in the cases below.
Our before-and-after results below demonstrate what can be achieved with good planning, precise impression taking and excellent collaboration with cosmetic dental laboratories. Depending on the individual case we also print crowns, veneers and onlays in house to achieve same day smile transformations
If you'd like to make an enquiry or book an appointment, our reception team would be delighted to help.

A dental crown is a custom-made ‘cap’ that fits on top of a weakened tooth to strengten it. It can also be used to improve the appearance of a misshapen or discoloured tooth
A dental crown may be recommended as a restorative dental solution for a broken, weakened or misshapen tooth. A series of dental crowns may be used to restore a mouth of worn teeth.
2 appointments, between 1 to 2 weeks apart. The first appointment is to design the crown and prepare your tooth for the new crown. At this appointment you get fitted with a temporary crown, while your new crown is being fabricated. At the second appointment you will be fitted with your new crown
With a good oral hygiene routine, dental crowns can last 10 years or more
If a tooth has been treated with a root canal filling, your dentist may recommend to put a crown on this tooth to strengthen it and increase its longevity. Root filled teeth are more brittle and prone to breaking.
