Dental Crowns

At Q Dental, dental crowns provide a reliable and long-lasting way to restore and protect damaged teeth.

Carefully crafted to match the shape, strength, and appearance of your natural teeth, crowns help rebuild function while maintaining a natural-looking smile.

Restoring strength and appearance

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over the entire surface of a tooth. It is typically used when a tooth has been weakened by decay, fracture, or extensive wear. Once placed, the crown restores the tooth’s strength, shape, and function — allowing you to bite and chew with confidence. Each crown is colour-matched to your natural teeth and securely bonded in place for a comfortable, seamless fit.

When might you need a crown?

A dental crown may be recommended to:

• Protect a weak or heavily filled tooth.
• Restore a broken, worn, or severely decayed tooth.
• Improve the appearance of a discoloured or misshapen tooth.
• Strengthen a tooth following root canal treatment.
• Cover and complete a dental implant.

Materials tailored to your needs

At Q Dental, we offer a range of high-quality materials to suit different clinical needs and preferences:

• Porcelain: Highly aesthetic and ideal for front teeth.
• Ceramic: Strong, natural-looking, and metal-free.
• Zirconia: Durable with excellent aesthetic properties.
• Gold or alloy options: Extremely strong and long-lasting, often used for back teeth.

Your dentist will guide you in choosing the most suitable material based on the location of the tooth, functional demands, and desired appearance.

What does the treatment involve?

• Preparation: The damaged portion of the tooth is carefully removed under local anaesthetic, using minimally invasive techniques to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible.
• Digital scan or impression: We take precise measurements of your tooth using digital scanning or impressions, which are used to create your custom crown.
• Temporary crown: A temporary crown may be placed to protect the tooth while your final restoration is being made.
• Final placement: Once ready, your crown is checked for fit, comfort, and appearance before being securely bonded in place.
