You’ll be happy to hear that getting a crown is relatively painless. Your comfort is a top priority, so your dentist will apply a local anaesthetic to numb the area before starting the procedure. Sit back, relax, and let our skilled team care for you, ensuring a stress-free experience.

Dental crowns are designed to be durable and long-lasting. On average, they can provide reliable performance for around 10 to 15 years. However, with good oral hygiene practices and regular dental check-ups, it’s not uncommon for crowns to last even longer.

The crown procedure usually takes two visits to the dentist. During the first visit, the tooth is prepared, and impressions are taken. A temporary crown is placed, which stays in position until the permanent crown is ready. On your second visit, the dentist will remove the temporary crown and carefully place the permanent one. The entire process usually takes a few hours spread over the two visits. Your dentist will explain everything in more detail based on your specific needs.

Yes, it’s safe to get a dental crown while pregnant. However, it’s essential to inform your dentist about your pregnancy and provide them with relevant information. They’ll take necessary precautions and use materials that are safe for you and your baby. Keep in mind that while dental procedures during pregnancy are generally considered safe, we recommend avoiding non-emergency treatments during the first trimester.

The burning question in your mind is probably how much your filling will set you back. The truth is the cost of a dental crown can vary depending on various factors, including the material used and the complexity of the procedure. But don’t worry. Your dentist will be your financial guide on this journey. They’ll provide you with a personalised treatment plan and a cost breakdown.

If you’re dealing with tooth damage, decay, a root canal treatment, or cosmetic concerns, a dental crown might be the answer. Talk to your dentist for a professional evaluation and to determine if a crown is the right solution for you.

After getting a crown, it’s generally safe to eat once the numbness from the local anaesthesia wears off. However, it’s best to wait until any temporary cement used during the procedure has fully set, which usually takes a few hours. Once your crown is securely placed, you can resume your usual eating habits. Enjoy your favourite foods, but be mindful of extremely hard or sticky items that could potentially dislodge or damage the crown.

In the unfortunate event that your crown should fall out or become damaged, contact your dentist immediately for guidance. They will advise you on the next steps to take and can repair or replace the crown as needed. Avoid chewing on the affected side until you can see your dentist.
