1. What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance.
2. How long do dental crowns last?
With proper care, crowns can last between 10-15 years or even longer.
3. Does the procedure hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you won’t feel pain. Some mild discomfort afterward is normal, but it typically subsides within a few days.
4. Can I eat normally with a crown?
Yes, a crown restores normal function, allowing you to eat most foods. However, it’s advisable to avoid excessively hard or sticky foods.
5. How do I care for my crown?
Brush and floss daily, paying special attention to the gumline around the crown. Regular dental check-ups are also important to monitor the condition of the crown.
6. What is the difference between a crown and a veneer?
A crown covers the entire tooth, while a veneer only covers the front surface. Crowns are typically used for structural reasons, while veneers are more cosmetic.
7. Will my crown look like a natural tooth?
Yes, crowns are custom-made to match the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth, so they blend seamlessly with your smile.
8. What materials are dental crowns made from?
Crowns can be made from porcelain, metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or zirconia. The material choice depends on the location of the crown and your personal preferences.
9. How much does a dental crown cost?
The cost depends on the type of crown and your individual treatment plan. We’ll provide a detailed quote after your consultation.
