Frequently asked
questions

FAQ

01 What is a dental crown and when might I need one?

A crown is a strong, custom-made cap that fits over a damaged, cracked or heavily restored tooth - rebuilding its shape, strength and function. It’s typically used when a filling isn’t enough (for example after large decay, a root canal, a crack or a broken tooth) or when a tooth needs full coverage to prevent further damage.

02 How long does a crown usually last?

With good care: thorough cleaning, low sugar in the diet, avoiding hard foods, and regular check‑ups - crowns typically last 10-15 years.

03 Will I feel pain or discomfort during a crown treatment?

No. We make sure you’re completely numb before we begin. The preparation and placement are done under anaesthetic, and our careful technique and calm pace aim to make the process as comfortable and stress‑free as possible. Some mild sensitivity after the appointment is normal, but it usually fades quickly.

04 Will the crown look natural?

Yes. We use precision digital scanning and partner with top ceramic technicians to produce crowns that match your tooth’s shape, shade, and bite. So your crown blends in naturally, rather than standing out.

05 Can a crowned tooth still get decay?

Yes, while the crown protects the part it covers, everything below the crown still need care. That’s why keeping good oral hygiene, reducing sugar intake and coming for regular reviews is essential to protect both the tooth and the crown’s longevity.

06 What habits should I avoid to make my crown last longer?

Treat your crowned tooth like a natural one, but remember underneath that tooth is weak! Brush gently twice a day, floss daily, and avoid biting very hard foods (nuts, seeds, hard sweets). Also be cautious with habits like opening bottles or chewing pens, which can place unnecessary stress on the crown. Over‑time these reduce the risk of chipping or loosening.
