What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made, tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a tooth to:
Protect it from further damage
Restore its shape, size, and strength
Improve its appearance
Crowns are often used when a tooth is too damaged for a filling, or following more extensive treatment like a root canal or dental implant.
Why Might You Need a Crown?
Your dentist may recommend a crown to:
Strengthen a cracked or weakened tooth
Restore a severely worn or broken tooth
Cover a tooth with a large filling
Complete a dental implant restoration
Secure a dental bridge or denture
Improve the appearance of misshapen or discoloured teeth
Protect a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment
The Dental Crown Process at Smile 4 U
- Tooth Preparation
Your dentist will remove a thin layer of the outer tooth to make space for the crown, and shape the inner core to ensure a secure fit. - Impressions & Temporary Crown
We’ll take digital or traditional impressions of your prepared tooth and opposing jaw to ensure a perfect bite and fit. You’ll be fitted with a temporary crown so you can eat and speak normally while your final crown is being crafted. - Custom Crown Creation
Your impressions, bite record, and tooth shade information are sent to our dental lab. There, your crown is hand-crafted using materials like porcelain, ceramic, or zirconia — chosen for strength and natural aesthetics. - Crown Fitting & Bonding
At your second visit (usually 1–2 weeks later), your permanent crown is checked for comfort, fit, and colour — then cemented securely in place with dental adhesive.
Types of Crown Materials Available
We offer crowns in a variety of materials to suit your needs:
Porcelain or ceramic – Best for front teeth; natural-looking and stain-resistant
Zirconia – Highly durable and aesthetic; ideal for visible or back teeth
Metal-based (e.g., gold alloys) – Extremely strong; best for molars or cases requiring maximum durability
Your dentist will guide you on the best option for function, appearance, and longevity.

It is important to keep the dental crown clean just as you would your natural teeth. Though the dental crown cannot decay, tooth decay may begin where the edge of the crown joins the tooth if improper maintenance is shown to oral hygiene. Make sure you brush before going to bed at night and once in the morning with fluoride toothpaste and it is fundamental to clean in between your teeth with interdental brushes.
