The Benefits of Dental Crowns for Damaged Teeth

What Is a Dental Crown?

A crown is a custom-made cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance.

Why You Might Need a Crown

Crowns are ideal for teeth that are cracked, decayed, worn down, or after root canal treatment. They protect the remaining tooth and improve your bite.

The Benefits

Crowns are durable, natural-looking, and can last many years with good care. At FB Dental, we use high-quality materials to match your smile perfectly.

Caring for Your Crown

Brush and floss regularly and maintain routine check-ups to keep your crown in top condition. Learn more about dental crown care in our comprehensive guide.

Dental Crown FAQs

How long do dental crowns last?

With good care, most crowns last 10 to 15 years, and many last considerably longer. Longevity comes down to the material used, where the crown sits in your mouth, and how well you look after it with regular brushing, flossing and check-ups. We use high-quality materials and check your crowns at every visit to get the most life out of them.

How do I care for my crown?

Treat a crowned tooth like a natural one: brush twice a day, floss around it daily, and keep up your routine check-ups and cleans. Avoid using that tooth to chew very hard items like ice or to open packaging, and if you grind your teeth at night, ask us about a night guard to protect it.

Does getting a crown hurt?

The procedure is done under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during treatment. Some mild sensitivity afterwards is normal and settles quickly. We take time to keep nervous patients comfortable at every step.

Can I get a crown in one visit?

Depending on the case, some crowns can be completed faster than the traditional two-appointment process. We will explain your options and timeline at your consultation so you know what to expect.
