Why Are Dental Crowns Needed?

Crowns are recommended when:

  • A tooth is weakened or cracked

  • You’ve undergone a root canal treatment

  • A tooth has a large cavity or filling and can’t hold on its own

  • To improve appearance for worn down, discoloured, or misshapen teeth

  • As part of a bridge to replace missing teeth

  • For full mouth rehabilitation in case of grinding (bruxism) or worn dentition

⏳ What to Expect During a Dental Crown Appointment

Step 1: Evaluation & Preparation
Your dentist will examine the tooth clinically and radiographically. If it is suitable for a crown, the tooth will be shaped to receive the crown. In some cases, additional procedures like a post and core or crown lengthening might be needed to support the crown.

Step 2: Impression & Temporary Crown
An impression is taken to create your custom crown. Meanwhile, a temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth.

Step 3: Final Crown Placement
Once your crown is ready (usually in a few days), it’s cemented in place and checked for fit, comfort, and bite.

The entire process is painless and typically requires two visits.
