Dental Crown – Long-Term Tooth Protection
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. It acts as a permanent cap, helping to prevent further breakage and allowing full chewing function.
Crowns are used when a tooth is too compromised for a filling alone. Whether it's due to significant decay, cracks, or previous root canal treatment, a crown provides long-lasting protection and can look as natural as the teeth around it.

Is a Dental Crown the Right Solution for You?
A crown may be the right option if:
- Your tooth has a large filling that needs replacing or reinforcing
- You've had root canal treatment and the tooth requires additional protection
- A tooth is cracked, fractured, or at risk of breaking
- You have cosmetic concerns with severe staining, shape, or alignment that veneers or bonding cannot address
- You want a long-lasting, low-maintenance restoration
When Do You Need a Dental Crown?
Crowns solve a variety of dental problems. Here are the most common reasons patients need them.
Large filling or cavity
When over 50% of the tooth is filling, a crown provides better protection and longevity than replacing the filling again.
After root canal treatment
Root-treated teeth become brittle. A crown prevents fracture and extends the tooth's life significantly.
Cracked or fractured tooth
A crown holds the tooth together, preventing the crack from spreading and saving the tooth from extraction.
Worn down teeth
From grinding (bruxism) or acid erosion. Crowns restore proper height and protect remaining structure.
Cosmetic transformation
Change the shape, size, or colour of a tooth for a more beautiful smile.
Support a dental bridge
Crowns on adjacent teeth anchor a bridge to replace missing teeth.
Cover a dental implant
The crown is the visible part of an implant, restoring function and aesthetics.
Severely discoloured teeth
When whitening will not give the desired result (for example with some tetracycline staining or darkly discoloured teeth), crowns can offer a long term cosmetic solution.
