Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that restore and protect broken and weakened teeth affected by advanced dental decay. Constructed from materials like metal, porcelain and resin, a dental crown will last anywhere from five to 15 years, depending on the type of crown you choose. Unsure? Book a check-up. Or get a second opinion.
Dental crowns are most commonly used to cover a root-canal-treated tooth or when a tooth filling is insufficient to protect the tooth from crumbling apart.

If you’ve been recommended a dental crown to protect your tooth from further exposure to decay, you should not delay your treatment.
Whilst the tooth can survive several weeks without a crown, the tooth remains exposed, which can cause heightened sensitivity, dental pain and further damage that might lead to a tooth extraction.
At Maida Smiles, we offer same-day crown replacements and can see you within four hours if your crown has broken.
