Everything You Need To Know About Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are one of the most effective ways to strengthen and restore badly damaged teeth. They protect weakened tooth structures, improve function and enhance the appearance of your smile. Whether your tooth is fractured, heavily filled, worn down or weakened after root canal treatment, a dental crown provides strong, long lasting coverage that looks and feels natural.
You may benefit from a dental crown if you struggle with sensitivity, cracks, cavities that cannot be restored with simple fillings or teeth that have lost a large portion of their structure. Crowns also play an important role in improving bite alignment and restoring teeth that affect overall chewing function. They are custom made to match the shape, colour and size of your natural teeth, so the final result blends seamlessly with your smile.
At Excel Dental, your dentist explains clearly why a crown is recommended and what you can expect throughout the process. Crowns are crafted with precision to ensure comfort, durability and aesthetics. The clinic uses modern techniques and materials to provide crowns that are strong yet beautiful.
Dental crowns are suitable for patients of various ages, from young adults with weakened teeth to seniors who require full mouth rehabilitation. With proper care, crowns can last many years and protect your teeth from further damage.

Dental Crowns: Frequently Asked Questions
Explore the FAQs that we often answer, if you have any queries!
Why do I need a crown instead of a filling?
A filling is suitable only when part of the tooth is damaged. If the structure is too weak or too large, a crown provides full coverage and protects the tooth from breaking.
Is the crown procedure painful?
You will be numb during the procedure and should not feel pain. Mild sensitivity afterward is normal and temporary.
How long does a crown last?
Crowns can last many years with proper care. Your dentist monitors the crown during your routine check ups.
Will the crown look natural?
Yes. Your dentist matches the colour and shape carefully to blend with your natural teeth.
Can I eat normally with a crown?
Yes. Once the crown is fully cemented and adjusted, you can eat comfortably.
How do I care for my crown?
Brush and floss as usual. Avoid using your teeth to open objects. Regular dental visits help maintain crown integrity.
What if my tooth has had root canal treatment?
Root canal treated teeth are often fragile and benefit greatly from a crown. It prevents fractures and improves long term function.
Can I choose the material of my crown?
Yes. Your dentist explains the benefits of each material and helps you choose based on function, appearance and budget.
What happens if a temporary crown comes off?
You should contact the clinic so it can be reattached. Temporary crowns protect your tooth until the final crown is ready.
