What is a
Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance.
The crown fits over the visible part of the tooth above the gum line, protecting what remains of the natural tooth while restoring normal function. Crowns are commonly recommended after root canal treatment, for cracked or worn teeth, for large cavities that a filling cannot support, or to complete a dental bridge or implant.
Common crown materials include metal crowns, porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns, all-ceramic or porcelain crowns, and zirconia crowns.
Unlike a filling, which repairs a small area, a crown covers the whole tooth for fuller protection.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate
for a Dental Crown?
A dental crown may be suitable for individuals who need to restore or protect a damaged tooth.
A cracked, chipped, or broken tooth
A tooth weakened by a large cavity or an old filling
A tooth that has undergone root canal treatment
Worn-down or misshapen teeth
A tooth being restored as part of a bridge or implant
A consultation with our dental team can help determine whether a crown is the right option for your tooth, or whether a more conservative treatment may be enough.
Why Choose a Dental Crown
Over a Large Filling?
A filling is often the better choice for minor damage. When a tooth is more extensively cracked, worn, or decayed, a filling may not hold well, and a crown can offer fuller, longer-lasting protection. The right option depends on how much healthy tooth remains.

Benefits & Results of Dental Crowns
A dental crown can restore both the function and appearance of a damaged tooth, often allowing you to return to normal eating and speaking.
Many patients can use the tooth normally once the crown is fitted and settled. Individual results vary, and a crown's lifespan depends on the material used, your bite, and how well the tooth and gums are cared for over time.

Our Dental Crown Treatment Approach
Every crown treatment at Hair O Graft begins with a thorough dental examination to understand the condition of the tooth and your treatment needs.
Dental Examination & Consultation:
Assessment of the tooth, X-rays if required, and confirmation of treatment suitability.
Tooth Preparation:
The tooth is gently shaped to receive the crown, and an impression or digital scan is taken. Local anaesthesia is used for comfort during the procedure.
Crown Fitting:
A temporary crown may be placed while your custom crown is being prepared. The permanent crown is then fitted and adjusted to ensure a comfortable, natural bite.
Aftercare Guidance:
Clear instructions on how to care for and maintain your crown.

Each treatment is customised based on the individual tooth, crown type, and your dental goals.
Treatment Duration
Crown treatment is usually completed over one or two appointments, depending on the type of crown and the process.
Usually completed over one or two visits
Each appointment generally takes around 30-60 minutes
Duration varies based on the tooth and crown type
Includes examination and tooth preparation before fitting
Dental crown treatment is performed as an outpatient procedure, yet you may be required to rest post-treatment with appropriate care.
Recovery & Aftercare
Dental crown treatment typically involves little downtime. Some patients may notice mild sensitivity around the tooth for a few days, which usually settles on its own.
For best results, we recommend:
Maintaining good oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing
Avoiding very hard or sticky foods, especially soon after fitting
Attending routine dental check-ups
Reporting any persistent discomfort or bite issues
Avoiding habits like chewing ice or grinding (a night guard may be advised)

Frequently Asked Questions
Is getting a dental crown painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during tooth preparation or crown fitting. Mild sensitivity or discomfort afterwards is common and usually settles within a few days.
How long do dental crowns last?
Lifespan varies depending on the crown material, your bite, and how well you maintain your oral hygiene.
How many visits will I need?
Most crowns are completed in one or two visits, depending on the crown type and the clinic process. Your dentist will confirm this after your examination.
Will the crown look natural?
Tooth-coloured crowns are custom-made to closely match the shade and shape of your natural teeth. Your dentist will discuss the material options suited to your case.
How do I care for my crown?
Care for a crowned tooth just like a natural tooth, regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups.
Can a crowned tooth still get decay?
Yes. The crown itself does not decay, but the natural tooth beneath it can, especially around the edges. Good oral hygiene remains important to keep the teeth healthy.
