Understand the treatment

What are dental crowns?

A crown covers a prepared tooth to restore its shape and function. The dentist assesses the remaining tooth, supporting tissues and bite before deciding whether coverage is suitable.

  • Tooth preparation is usually irreversible.
  • The temporary and final crown stages have different care needs.

Compare the choices

Your treatment options

Material choice should reflect the tooth’s position, remaining structure, bite and appearance goals.

Understanding possible outcomes

Expected outcomes

Ask how a crown could restore the tooth’s shape, bite and appearance, and how its shade may match neighbouring teeth. The starting condition and remaining tooth structure influence the plan.

You can ask to see comparable crown cases. Discuss likely maintenance, the possibility of future treatment and whether a filling or partial-coverage restoration could meet your needs.

During and after care

Preparation & fitting visits

A laboratory-made crown commonly needs preparation and fitting appointments, with a temporary crown between them when required. Treatment for decay, the gums or the tooth’s nerve may add visits. The dentist checks the fit, appearance and bite before securing the final crown.

Protecting the crown and tooth

Follow the eating and cleaning advice for any temporary crown. Continue fluoride brushing and cleaning between teeth around the final crown. Arrange a review if it feels loose, your bite feels high or pain persists.

Your questions, answered

Which crown material is right for me?

The choice depends on the tooth's position, bite, remaining structure, appearance goals and budget. Your dentist explains the trade-offs for your situation.

Does every root-treated tooth need a crown?

No. The tooth's position and remaining structure matter. Back teeth often need additional protection, while some front teeth can be restored with a filling.

How long do crowns last?

Crowns can last many years, but may eventually need repair or replacement. Longevity depends on the tooth, bite, fit, daily cleaning and regular reviews.

Will I have a temporary crown?

A temporary crown may protect the prepared tooth while the final crown is made. Follow the eating and cleaning advice given for it.

Can a crowned tooth still develop problems?

Yes. The tooth and surrounding gums still need daily cleaning and reviews. Report persistent pain, a loose crown or a bite that feels uneven.
