Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a weak, cracked, or heavily filled tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. It's used when a tooth is too damaged for a filling but still worth saving, and it's colour-matched to blend in with your other teeth.

With good care, crowns commonly last 10 to 15 years or more. Their lifespan depends on the tooth's position, your bite, and your oral hygiene.
