What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that covers and protects a weakened or damaged tooth.
A crown may be recommended to:
- Protect a cracked or weakened tooth
- Restore a heavily worn or damaged tooth
- Strengthen a tooth after root canal treatment
- Restore a tooth with significant decay or a large filling
- Improve the shape or appearance of a tooth
Your dentist will recommend the most suitable crown material based on the location of the tooth, your bite and your individual needs.

Dental Crown FAQs
What is a dental crown, and why might I need one?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength, shape and appearance. Crowns are commonly recommended for cracked, heavily filled or root canal-treated teeth.
How long do dental crowns last?
Dental crowns typically last 10–15 years or longer with proper care. Their lifespan depends on the material used, oral hygiene habits and regular dental check-ups.
Is getting a dental crown painful?
The procedure is usually performed under local anaesthesia to keep you comfortable. You may experience mild sensitivity or discomfort afterwards, which generally settles within a few days.
How long does it take to get a dental crown?
Dental crowns typically require two appointments — one to prepare the tooth and take impressions or scans, and another to fit the permanent crown. Some cases may be completed in a single visit, depending on the technology available.
How much does a dental crown cost? Are payment plans available?
The cost depends on the crown material and complexity of treatment. At Waverley Road Dental, we offer flexible payment plans to help make dental care more manageable. Your dentist will provide a personalised quote during your consultation.
Can a dental crown look and feel like a natural tooth?
Yes! Modern dental crowns are designed to closely match the colour, shape and appearance of your natural teeth. Once fitted and adjusted, they can feel comfortable and function much like a natural tooth.
