Discover the Strength and Beauty of Dental Crowns. Restore Your Smile with Customised Solutions Tailored to Your Needs

Cracked Teeth And Crown

Crowns can help to save teeth that are damaged or decayed.

Designed to blend with natural teeth, crowns can restore a patient’s ability to chew and speak properly while also improving the appearance of their smile. Whilst associated with severely damaged teeth, crowns also fulfil a number of other important roles when it comes to oral health. For instance, they can be used to hold a dental bridge in place or to disguise a dental implant.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a crown?

Worldwide dentists are seeing an increase in patients with cracked teeth, due to stress, anxiety, bruxism and other factors. Treating cracked teeth is common, but can be tricky. We often treat cracked teeth with a procedure called ‘bonding’. Bonded teeth have a tooth-coloured resin attached to repair cracked or chipped teeth and the resin can be sculpted to change the size, shape and color of your tooth.

What is a cracked teeth?

A crown, also known as a ‘cap’, is a cover for the tooth, which can be used to protect, strengthen and often improve the aesthetic appearance of a damaged or unsightly tooth. It can be used beneficially in a variety of scenarios, including where there has been damage to a tooth by decay, fracture or trauma, where a tooth was poorly formed during development, or where one or more teeth are simply poorly shaped or positioned and orthodontic treatment is not recommended.

What are the benefits of having a crown?

For a crown to be fitted, your dentist will first have to prepare what remains of the damaged tooth. The tooth may need to be shaped before a mould is taken to make sure the crown is a perfect fit. In many instances, local anaesthetic is used to minimise discomfort, with most patients describing the procedure as feeling similar to having a filling.

Does having a crown hurt?

How long will a crown last?

With the correct care and attention, crowns can last for many years before they need replacing. Depending on the individual, they have an average lifespan of 5-15 years, and there are many factors that can influence how long a crown lasts. For instance, those who don’t brush their teeth, grind their teeth regularly or bite their fingernails may find that their crowns need to be replaced more often. Detailed aftercare advice will be provided to you following the application of your crown.
