Quick questions

Short answers before you book

Why would a dentist recommend a crown instead of a filling?

A crown may be recommended when the tooth has lost too much structure for a filling to hold up predictably over time.

Do crowns look natural?

Yes. Modern crowns are typically designed to look balanced and natural while also strengthening the tooth.

Can a cracked tooth need a crown?

Yes. Crowns are often used to protect teeth that are cracked, structurally weak, or vulnerable to breaking further.

Is getting a crown painful?

Most patients are relieved that the process is more manageable than they expected. We focus on comfort and explain each step clearly.

How long do dental crowns last?

Crowns can last many years with good home care, regular dental visits, and attention to grinding or bite-related stress if that applies to you.

Can a tooth need a crown after a root canal?

Yes. Teeth that have had root canal treatment often need a crown for added protection, depending on how much structure is left.
