Damaged, cracked, or weakened teeth don’t always need to be removed.

Dental crowns are a reliable and long-lasting solution to restore both the strength and appearance of your natural tooth. Whether it’s a chipped molar or a worn-down front tooth, a crown acts like a snug protective helmet, allowing you to chew, smile, and speak without worry.

At Passion Dental, we approach crowns with a blend of precision, comfort, and aesthetics—so it doesn’t just work well, it looks and feels like it belongs.


Understanding Dental Crowns

What is a dental crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s structure, protects it from further harm, and blends naturally with your surrounding teeth.

When are dental crowns used?

Crowns are often recommended when a tooth is:

A crown is more than just a cover; it's a helmet that protects your tooth's long-term health and a custom-made restoration that brings back its natural beauty and function.

  • Cracked or fractured

  • Treated with a root canal

  • Part of a dental bridge or implant restoration

Types of crowns

At Passion Dental, we primarily use tooth-coloured ceramic and porcelain crowns for their natural look and durability. In certain cases, zirconia or gold alloy may be advised based on the tooth’s location, bite strength, or patient preference.

How long do dental crowns last?

With proper care, most crowns last between 10–15 years, often longer. Good oral hygiene, regular check-ups, and avoiding habits like grinding or chewing ice can significantly extend a crown’s lifespan.

Are crowns painful?

No—your treatment is done under local anaesthesia, and we take special care to ensure minimal discomfort. Post-treatment sensitivity is common but temporary.

What to Expect

Step 1: Consultation & Evaluation

We examine your tooth, take digital X-rays, and assess if a crown is the right option. If needed, we discuss alternative treatments.

Step 2: Tooth Preparation

The tooth is gently shaped to make space for the crown. We remove any decay or damaged areas and take a digital scan to ensure a precise fit.

Step 3: Temporary Crown

A temporary crown protects your tooth while the permanent one is crafted in the lab.

Patients often worry a crown won't match their other teeth. We obsess over the details—shape, shade, and even the way light reflects—to create a result so seamless, you'll forget which tooth it is.

Step 4: Crown Placement

Once ready, we bond the permanent crown and adjust it for comfort, bite, and natural appearance.

Step 5: Long-Term Care

We guide you on maintaining your crown with regular hygiene and checkups.
