Dental crowns are custom-made, tooth-shaped caps that are placed over a damaged or compromised tooth. They are designed to cover and protect the visible portion of the tooth, restoring its strength, function, and aesthetics. Crowns are a common and reliable solution for a wide range of dental issues.
We understand the importance of maintaining the health and beauty of your smile.
Dental crowns, often referred to as caps, are a versatile and effective solution for restoring and protecting damaged or weakened teeth. Our skilled team of dentists is committed to providing you with the highest quality care, ensuring your comfort and confidence in your smile.
Types of Dental Crowns
- Porcelain Crowns: Porcelain crowns are known for their natural appearance and ability to mimic the colour and translucency of natural teeth. They are an excellent choice for front teeth and other visible areas.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns: PFM crowns combine the strength of metal with the aesthetics of porcelain. They are a versatile option for various situations.
- Zirconia Crowns: Zirconia crowns offer both strength and aesthetics, making them an ideal choice for those who prioritise a natural-looking smile.
- Emax Crowns: Emax crowns are known for their exceptional aesthetic purposes. They closely mimic the natural appearance of a tooth and are made from a translucent material that allows light to pass through like natural enamel. An excellent choice for front teeth.
- Gold Crowns: Gold Crowns are highly durable and long-lasting. They can withstand the forces of chewing without wear and tear and are an excellent choice for molars and premolars.
The Crown Placement Procedure
The process of getting a dental crown typically involves the following steps:
- Diagnosis: Our skilled dentists will assess your tooth’s condition through a thorough examination and may take X-rays for a complete evaluation.
- Tooth Preparation: The tooth receiving the crown is prepared by removing a thin layer of enamel to make room for the crown.
- Impressions: Using an intra-oral scanner, we take digital impressions of your prepared tooth to ensure a custom-fit crown.
- Temporary Crown: While your permanent crown is being fabricated in a dental laboratory, a temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth.
- Permanent Crown Placement: Once your custom crown is ready, it will be securely bonded to your tooth.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
- Restored tooth strength and functionality.
- Enhanced aesthetics, particularly with porcelain and all-ceramic crowns.

Dracula is having a very bad week.
He’s lost a fang. 🧛🏻♂️
Once his gum health is stable, we can explore the right way to replace it. Depending on the individual patient, a dental implant may be one possible option for replacing a missing tooth.
The goal isn’t to change who he is. It’s to restore his smile, protect his oral health and return him to full biting duties.
Should we replace the fang or embrace the new look? Tell us below.
Next week: Dracula receives his complete smile plan.

Immortal doesn’t mean immune. 🧛🏻♂️🦷
After several centuries of avoiding the hygienist, Dracula has finally had his gums professionally cleaned.
Regular hygiene appointments and effective cleaning at home help protect the gums and tissues that support your teeth. Even if your smile feels fine, your gums still need looking after.
Unfortunately, the appointment revealed something else…
One of Dracula’s fangs is in trouble.

PLOT TWIST: the blood was his. 🩸
Dracula’s check-up revealed red, swollen and bleeding gums. It turns out even the undead aren’t immune to gum problems.
Bleeding when brushing is common, but it should never be ignored. It can be an early sign of gum disease and is a good reason to arrange a dental or hygiene appointment.
Next stop for Dracula: the hygienist.
Be honest, when did you last see yours? Save this reminder and follow for Episode 3.
